GREATEST LABOR DAY IN HISTORY Thousands of Working People in Many Cities Celebrate the Day With Parades and Picnics. ALL UNION MEN JOIN HAND AND PRESENT A UNITED FRONT EVERYWHERE. Great Interest and Enthusiasm Was Shown by Spectators Growth of the Labor Orders the Past Year Unprecedented in Movement. Washington, D. C, Sept 1. The celebration of Labor day this year posRcsBCS more than ordinary signi ficance to the ranks of the organized tollorB as .1 Is Just 20 years ago since tho observance wns bogun. The Unit ed States is the only country In the world which has set asldo a legal holiday devoted to celebrations by the wage earners. Labor day is now al most a national holiday, tho laws of nearly every Btato and territory of the union recognizing It. Tho origin of Labor day is found in an agitation bogun In the city of New York in 1882. All the great la bor organizations of the country par ticipated In the effort to secure this recognition of labor's cause, the ini tiative in the movement bolng taken by P. J. McGuIre, thon national sec retary of the Journeymen carpenters. But it was not until. Ave years later that the efforts bore fruits In legisla tion.. Then it was that the far west ern stato of Oregon which passed a law setting aside the first Saturday in June for this observance. This law waB passed February 21, 1887. Six years later to the day this law wae amended, and the present date, the first Monday in September, was se lected. New Jersey was the second state to legalize this holiday, an act being passed In the legislature of that stato April, 8, 1887. New xonc ioi lowed in May of the same year. Col orado and Massachusetts followed In line the same year, but it was not until after 1890 that the other states took similar aclon. Ohio passed a Labor day law April 28, 1890. Illinois passed Its law June 17. 1891, Indiana March 9, 1891, and Minnesota, April 18, 1893. west Virginia and Nortn Carolina did not legalize Labor day until 1899. Recognition of the rights and digni ty or labor this Is the spirit which moves in the event. It began in a parade, and Is usually bo celebrated. In 1882, a great labor demonstration was hold in Now York. Tho Central Labor union of that city, consisting of numerous affiliated labor organiza tions, arranged a great parade. Thous ands of men were in lice with floats banners, transparencies, badges and carriages. It chanced that the Knights of Labor were holding their conven tion in that city at the same time, and they were invited to witness the turnout from Union Square. This was Sopember 6, 1882. The invita tion was accepted and the occasion was a great success. rne paraae from that tlmo was referred to as the "Labor day parade." Remembering the success of the previous year the New York labor or ganizations turned out again in 1883, only tho date was changed to the first Monday In September. In 1884, when the Central Labor union met to dis cuss a third performance, George B. Lloyd, a Knight of Labor, arose and offered a resolution that the first Monday in September be declared Labor day. This was adopted and steps were at once taken to secure enactment by the state legislature making it a legal holiday. A bill was Introduced in the legislature the first for this nurpose but It did not re ceive favorable consideration until 1887, by which time two other states bad passed eucn a law. Labor organizations in other states made common cause with the Central Labor union and tho movement be came general among labor unionists to get state legislatures to take ac tion. In less than uve years a major ity of the states had fallen Into line, and by 1900 nearly all the states had declared the first Monday in Septem ber a legal holiday, In addition to making a display by Its annual parade Union labor Intends this day for dis cussion and public meotings. Us pur pose is said to bo largely educational! In Its call for this years 'observ ance the executive council of tno Ara&lcan Federation of -Labor recom meuds to all organlzod workers in na tional, state, central and local unions mat iney com-eiuruie mr aiwuuuu to a discussion o fthe'abolltlon of in- Juctions in labor disputes and tho passage of resolutions demanding at the hands of congress and tne legisla tures of their respective states the enactment of laws conforming to that purpose."
