MONDAY is LABOR DAY

Though Labor Day is of our most widely
observed holidays, few people know how the days
observance originated
The observance was first suggested BY Peter J.
Mcguire in 1882 MacQure president Of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of Am
erica and he proposed that Labor should select day
for parade to show its strength and spirit He sug-
gested also that the parade be followed by picnic
and festival.
MacQuire argued that there was no general OBJ
servance of day concentrating the spirit of industry
and toll in America and that spirit which made
the coutry great He said there representative
holidays for religious, civil and military OCCASIONS but
none which recognized the spirit Of labor.
The first state to formally recognize Labor Day
was Oregon, which, on February q, 1884 set apart
the first Monday in September as state holiday in
honor Of labor. Not long after this action by Oregon
Colorado, Massachusetts,, New Jersey and New York
followed suit. By 1884, the day was legal holiday
in thirty states and in June Of 1887, Congress
recognized Labor Day legal holiday the District
of Columbia and in the territories
Labor Day is observed in every state and
falls the first Monday in September 1t generally
considered the last holiday Of summer and falling on
Monday it always provides long weekend for work
in metropolitan to get away from the cities
This year Labor Day falls on September 9Th, a
day later than usual It is encouraging to note in
observing this day in 1855 that labor in America has
reached point Of achievement matched in other
country, both in terms Of wages buying power and
working conditions.

Chrysler Follows Ford and en- With
Guaranteed Annual Wage Settlement

DETROIT, R-Chrysler Corp.
and the Go United Auto Workers
reached a contract settlement yes
terday, six hours after widespread
strikes hit Chrysler plants in six
states.
The JAW Immediately sent out
back-to-work orders to all union
locals. There were indications,
however, that work descriptions
among Chrysler's $4,000 employ
es would mar production through
out the day.
The settlement was modelled
closely after Ford and General
Motors agreements reached early
in June. 1t completed the lineup
Of the auto industry's big Three"
companies on revolutionary, new
layoff pay plans.
Like the Ford and GIN plans,
the Chrysler agreement will guar
antee laid off workers so to IS
percent of regular take-home pay
for up to Is weeks Of idleness.
1t also provides wage increases
Of six cents an hour to all employ
es for each of the three years of
The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1955-09-02

the contract, and up to 38 cents
Immediately for some workers in
skilled classifications.
Also included in the new agree
ment were clauses to:
|. Boost pension benefits up to
a maximum of about $3.50 a
month, including social security.
2. Eliminate wage differentials
between the Detroit area, biggest
concentration Of Chrysler work
ers, and other parts of the coun-
try. Chrysler said it thus became
the first big auto company to do
this. Chrysler has plants in Mich
igan, Indiana, California, Dele
ware, Kansas and Georgia.
8. Improve hospital-medical and
insurance cOverage.
A. Liberalize economic por-
tons Of the contract, which among
other things gives the union for
the first time the right to strike
over production standards.

way back to the majors, if his
performance in the Puerto Rican
winter league is any indication.
Luke, now a member of Buffalo

currently leading the Puerto Rican
loop in home runs. In IS games
with the San Juan Senators, Luke
has hit seven home runs, and is
considered we'll on his way to
breaking the home run record of
10 set by Bob Cerv of the New
York Yankees last winter in the

Sharing HonOrs
Sharing home run honors with
Easter is Bill White, another Am

final stanza.
1t was great day for Rattlers
followers and particularly for Den
mis- Jefferson, local lad who was
in his first starting assignment
before hometown fans. For the day
he passed eight times, connecting
on four attempts for 125-yards
and tire touchdown, and was the
quarterback on five of the eight
scoring efforts. 1t was his taking
and deft signal-calling that spear
headed the Rattlers to this, their
biggest" win of the '55 season to
date.
The Rattlers gained 100 yards
passing and picked up another 1923
on the ground for 48a yards total
offense. In the meantime, the Jag
uar Cats got SO in the air and 1876
OH the ground.
AL Frazier, the Rattlers' lead
ing scorer, tailed twice in the
game, once on a 45-yard dash, and
the second time on a pass play
which covered as yards, to run his
I'd total to II for the season. He
also picked up 81 yards on car
ries to run his total offense eff
forts for the season to 1859 - an
average of 20 per carry.
Willie (Galloping Gall Galimore,
his celebrated All-American left
half running mate, rolled for two
touchdowns on runs of % and 81
yards and picked up 102 yards on
IS carries to run his total offense
to IT'S yards on sc running plays
and one pass interception.
In the line, tackles Kelley Will
liams and Calilivan GLADDEN. and
Center Carl Crowell turned in ster-
ling performances for the winners.

Sam Brown Shines
As UCLA Heads
For Rose Bowl
Football Classic

LOo ANHCLCO, CdIu., NOV. 70
The Big Ten named Michigan
State as its representative in the
Rose Bowl this week. The Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles
(UCLA) in a crushing defeat of
University of Southern California
last Saturday, moved down their
last handicap on the way to the
Rose Bowl
Sam First DOWN. Brown, the
173-pound halfback from Oakland
lived up to his name and promise
in Saturdays game. Brown gained
$50 yards in 27 runs for 5.56
average. He also gained so yards
on his two passes. He tailed the
first touchdown for the Bruins.
With UCLA's star passer, Rom
ME Knox out of play due to bro
ken ankle bone, the Bruins tried
only two passes and Sam Brown
completed both. These were vital
in the first two scores.
The Trojans' star halfback, Jon
Arnett, thrilled the 100000 fans
in Memorial Coliseum, as we'll as
the millions of television fans, with
hisc 97-yard-return of the opening
kickoff. However, when it was
iullified by penalty, the wind
seemed to go out of the Trojan
sails. The Bruins wind up their
regular season with perfect slate
of six victories in the Pacific Coast
Conference, beaten only by Mary
land early in the fall.

Adlai Stevenson's announce ment he again will seek the Democratic presidential nomin ation creates hardly a ripple in political affairs. He's been nun ming all along, and there is no doubt he is at present the lead ing candidate.
 More titillatinlg is the expres sed reaction of Averell Harri- aaan, governor of New York, formerly a highly president member of the Democratic team of international experts. and the apple of some impor- cant Democratic eyes.
 FFarriman said Stevenson had done well in 1852, and would do well again, with the full sup vort of New York Tiff renomin- a&ed." Earlier in the day Harri- man had said anybody who wanted the nomination would have to work for it. ''I'm not go ing to work for it." he said

the one he displayed in 1852, when he waited for the party to draft him.
 Now he has mine months of campaigning before the con- vention, and will probably en- ter a number of presidential primaries.
 Even though Hartman is probably not as reluctant as he sounds, this creates possibil- ity which might Joe used to fur ther conplicate Republican troubles.
 Stevenson is widely res pected man on a non-partisan basis. When President Eisen- hover was believed practical ly certain to seek renoTnination nearly all Democrats were will ing to let Stevenson have the honor of trying to unseat him. Against "a lesser Republican figure, many others decided they might have a chance. This produced talk of a wide open convention.
 Now that Stevenson's deter imitation is clear, there could be some changes of heart. Not only because of the formidable Stevenson, but also for the sake of party unity, now that many observers are discounting an other southern secession move ment.
 There is already widespread talk that, lacking Eisenhower, the Republicans are going to have a very rough time putting over anyone less than chief justice Earl Warren, who has issued an unequivocal rejec- ton of the idea.
 If the Democrats should pro- duce great signs of unity be- fore their convention, you can expect a lot more draft War ren talk"
