Show The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., August 28, 1970 RAMIFICATIONS Well readers, it looks like another one of those glorious days that we love to see roll around is rapidly approaching. Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is speeding in and will be here in ten days, or if you prefer, the three-da- y Labor Day weekend will be here in seven days! That sounds even better doesn't it? Labor Day is another one of those good old American customs that has become one of the most popular holidays, ranking next to Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christinas holidays. It also marks the end of the sumof schools, and mer holidays and vacations, the the beginning of fall activities. THE ORIGINAL idea for a day to honor all workers first evolved centuries ago when workers were not given their just rights. Through the Industrial Revolution, various social injustices came about with the invention of machinery, use of steam and electricity, and adoption of the factory system. During the eighteenth century, numerous individuals became indignant about the surroundings in which many workers lived and labored. In the following decades, countless articles, poems, books and paintings depicted the laboring man and crusaded for improved conditions. Since so much attention was directed to the importance of labor, it is not surprising that a special day was set aside to honor all who work, and to likewise show the strength and unity of the labor movement Although Labor Day began as a private annual affair, it was soon converted to a legal and public holiday. THE IDEA was first suggested in 1882 by Peter J. McCuire, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. He asserted that since we had certain days assigned to represent "the religious, civil, and military spirit," special honor should also be given to "the great vital force of the nation.'' the industrial spirit It was at a meeting in May, 1882, that McGuire proposed to the New York Central Labor Union that a "Labor Day be noted on the first Monday in September. He wanted to observe "a festive day during which a parade through the city streets would permit public tribute to American industry." Two years later, on October 9, 1884, in Chicago, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada (which later became the American Federation of Labor) voted to make Labor Day a national holiday. In 1887, Oregon celebrated a state holiday honoring labor; and this action was soon followed by Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. BY 1884, thirty states had made Labor Day a legal holiday and that year President Graver Cleveland approved an act making it legal in the District of Columbia. By 1928, all 48 states and dependencies, except Wyoming and the Philippines, had passed such provisions. Now, all 50 states recognize the Labor Day holiday. By the turn of the century, Labor Day was becoming more and more a day for enjoyment, gatherings with friends, picnics, varied contests, attendance at ball games and so forth. Even today, with our changing modem society, typical Labor Day activities remain the same as in years past. ". IT IS INDEED fitting that the first Monday in Sep-Member be reserved for recognition to labor and its many ! achievements. In an editorial in the "Los Angeles Times" of September 5, 1954, Theodore Saloutos wrote : W mark is still valid. IT IS ESPECIALLY true in the summertime, because summertime means exposure. The exposure we are talking about has nothing to do with sun tans or beaches. In our summer uniforms light weight, easier to wrinkle and get are we exposed to the public. dirty A sloppy-lookin- g soldier, a sailor in stained, ragged whites, an airman with dirty brass or a Marine with shoes do more than discredit themselves as individuals. The Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marine Corps all get a black eye. Neatness and proper maintenance and wear of the unihabits of sensible form are really no more than habits men and women. MOST MILITARY MEN and women are as careful of as when they go into their personal appearance town. They familiarize themselves with local uniform regulations and dress accordingly. They replace items of issue before they are fit only for the trash can. Take a look in the mirror. Would you pass muster? (AFPS) un-shin-ed Chuck Edmonds has been promoted to Specialist Fourth Class.
