LABOR DAY - SEPT, 1ST
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we
all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the
Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory
even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Cor. 3:17, 18.
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.

how thin the barriers are between his bench or his machine
and the desk of the superintendent or manager.
