The Columbia Charitable Association of Shipwrights and Calkers was formed some time between 1825 and 1830. The printers’ first organization, bo far a® authentic records show, was in 1831. Tho true formative period of America’s labor organizations extends over the 26 years from 1825 to 1851. Tho chief movement was for higher wages ano shorter hours of work, and there were also many experiments in co-operation. New Harmony, Ind., was the scene of the first experiment of this sort. It was backed by Mr. Owen with $l,000,00C in cash, 28,000 acres of land and twe libraries costing f30,000 each, and 80C persons joined in the scheme. It lived but two years, however, and, though it has been followed by many other experi ments somewhat similar, none has as yet made a lasting success. Labor legislation began as early as 1777, when it was voted in Newbury port, Mass., that “maximum wages” should be as follows: Carpenters, 5 shillings 4 pence a day; calkers, 6 shillings a day; day la borers, not found, 4 shillings a day; day laborers, found, 3 shillings a day; joiners, 4 shillings 8 pence a day; ma sons, 6 shillings a day. It will be observed that this legisla tion was all in favor of the employer, inasmuch as the paying of higher wages than those named was prohibited, while there was no minimum scale adopted. Strikes began to occur in 1803, the first one recorded being among the sailors in New York city. It Beems to have been settled by the jailing of the leader. There were divers small strikes, and some of some magnitude in the years immediately following, but there seems to have been no really systematic ac tion until 1825, the year already men tioned as the beginning of the formation period of the organizations. In 1826 a Boston newspaper printed a protest against some of the methods of the man ufacturers in New England and made demands for the adoption of measures to decrease the dangers of factory opera tives and the furnishing them with suit able rooms, lodgings, etc. The Yankee girl operatives were foremost all through this formation period in getting up or ganization. Meanwhile in New York city and all along the Atlantic coast the ship car penters and calkers were agitating for a 10 hour day, and the question of labor ST.

The legislatures of several other states set the day apart the same year, and by the close of 1893 this had been done in 25 states. Oregon was the first state to pass a bill legalizing the holiday. Such a bill was first introduced, however, in tho legis lature of New York state. In several other states legislation has been set on foot for the establishment of Labor day, but has failed so far of ac complishment for one reason and an- other. Whether it will now be thought necessary to secure such legislation in the remaining states is not decided, so far as the writer’s knowledge goes. On Sept. 6, 1893, Hon. Amos J. Cum mings introduced a bill in the house of representatives at Washington making the day a national holiday. Thi9 bill I was Identical in wording with one in troduced on Aug. 28, 1898, by the Hon. Mr. Kyle of South Dakota in the senate. The bill was finally passed by congress June 26, 1894, and two days later re ceived the president’s signature and be came law. The pen with which Mr. Cleveland affixed his signature was sent to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation, and is carefully preserved by him. This bill reads as follows: “A bill making Labor day a legal holiday: “Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assem bled, That the first Monday of Septem ber in each year, being the day cele brated and known as labor’s holiday, is hereby made a legal holiday, to all in tents and purposes in the same manner as Christmas, the 1st day of January, the 22d day o?February, the 30th day of May and the 4th day of July are now by law made public holidays. ” The Significance of the Day. The American Labor day has no ex act counterpart in Europe. There, it is tine, demonstrations of workingmen are often made on May 1, the object being, of course, to produce an impression of strength in numbers and directness of purpose, and 60 make it easier to win proposed demands as to wages, hours, =dc. The May day demonstration is not altogether unknown on this side the ocean, but in many essentials it differs from Labor day. The real distinction of the American holiday lies in the fact that on that day no legal question or contention or dispute is supposed to be intended or allowed to interfere with the day’s observance. The workers for one day lay aside their implements of For information, time cards, maps and tickets, call on or write Jatues J. Corbet gave some pretty good A. D.

The flowers are much more lasting both while left on the plant or in a cut state—an advantage which cannot fail to be appreciated. The new plant is introduced under the name Whirlwind. Planted in masses, this anemone will make a grand show in September and October. A hardy variety of pink that promises well is Her Majesty. The plants form a compact mass of bluish green foliage and produce flowers in great profusion aud during a long period, even giving some blooms as late as October. The flowers are large, very double, pure white, with the fragrance of the carna tion, and supported on stiff, upright stems. A distinct white variegated variety of geranium is introduced by the name Sil ver Pearl. The leaves of this are broad ly bordered with white. The flowers are double, like little roses, and of bright carmine color.

No matter how indi vidual opinions may differ as to the val ue of labor organizations, there is no doubt that without their aid the men would never have won tho victories which they prize so highly, and despite their defoats, which have been many and sometimes belioved to be crushing, the organization idea is gaining ground every day. There are two great divisions among the labor organizations of the United States. In the first may be classed the great railroad brotherhoods, tho unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and the international and na tional trades unions. In the second may be classed the assemblies of the Knights of Labor and the American Railway union. The basic difference between the two types may bo summed up in tho statement that each union of tho first class possesses autonomy as to its own local affairs. It orders its own strikes and directs its own local policy, whereas the assemblies of the Knights of Labor are to a much greater extent governed by the general officers of the order, as are the local unions of tho A. R. U. by the general officers of that or der. The unions affiliated with the Fed eration of Labor, for instance, bear about the same relation to that organi zation that the states of the republic bear to the federal government, all local laws and rules being made by each un ion, while the K. of L. assemblies are governed by rules laid down by the gen eral assembly. Many efforts have been made looking to closer unity between the different or ganizations, and three “harmony con ferences” of national scope have been held within the last year. Samuel Gompers, head of tho federation; Gen eral Master Sovereign of tho Knights of Labor; P. M. Arthur, chief of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers; Frank Sargent, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen; Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway un ion; John McBride of the United Mino Workers and most of the other leaders are all in favor of unity, but for somo reason it has so far failed to material ize.

At this meeting arrangements were made for the holding of a conven tion on Sept. 6, 1832, and at this con vention, which, from the old records, appears to have been very well attend ed and was presided over by Charles Douglas of New London, Cann., ten points were submitted for consideration, as follows: 1. Organization of a central committee for each state. 2. The insti tution of lyceums or institutes. 3. Reform in the militia system. 4. The expediency of calling a national convention of workingmen. 5. The 10 hour system. 6. The effect of banking institutions and other monopolies upon the condition of the laboring classes. 7.

The next year a workingman’s ticket was put in the field—the first on record— but every nominee was defeated but one. It seems that at that time the elections extended over several days, and at the close of the first day it was seen that tho workingmen were ahead, and so tho other tickets were hastily combined to defeat the workingmen’s nominees.
