LABOR DAY l Fprty-five years ago the organized workers of the United States first formally observed the first Monday in September as Labor Day. It is admitted that the position of the Ameri can worker is the best of any worker anywhere in the world. Outside of the United States, the condition of British labor is by far the best. Yet the hitter's pay, his hours, his working conditions, his chances for employment and oppor tunities for advancement can hardly be compared with those of the American worknjan. American wages, hours and opportunities have made the labor of America the most envied working class on the globe. The buying power of the American worker is infinitely greater than that of the labor of any other nation. He is not hampered by the caste-lines and class-consciousness that rule practically everywhere else. Industry, finance and trade in America are officered by men who have come up,' .from the workers' ranks. The man at the bench knows .that Henry Ford began as a farm boy and machinist. ! Charles M. Schwab drew his first pay as a; stake-driver, iAndrew Carnegie was a weaver's assistant; Thbma. A. Edi son was a telegrapher' at a smallrailway 'statio 'Harvey jFirestone wai a; farm! boy and ,b'6(keeper. , ,fiThe : rights, pioneer aviators, raiiiu little bjcycfd-fepaiivsjipp. j These captains of iiidiisti'y and inventioijiall camo up from hurrible placed as privates in-the industrial nmks.!;Lalor knows the opportunities of today, itre evan better than those of yesterday, in spite of occasional "quiet 'times in industry i Engineering and technical schools have given a new dignity to the blue shirt and brown ''overalls' o'f -Labor.

The sons hud daughters of Labor are crowding in faster and faster (.'very year. , Labor in America has little class-consciousness and even )oss class-hatred.
