To fight for the purpose of establishing and maintaining peace would appear at first blush to be a paradoxical suggestion, hut the fact Is that the most vital struggle confronting the workers of America Is that which Involved permanent peace and the elimination of warfare in Industry. The Inherent Inclinations and ambitions of the workers Is for peace because, from the records, we learn that the pain and sacrifice In all of Its aspects attendant to wars Industrial and otherwise In the past have been absorbed by the workers; hence consciously or unconsciously, the workers seek peace and are gradually evolving a state of mind that will Justify their fighting for It. The general public, made up of sympathizers of the organized labor movement In the main, prefers peace In Industry. The general public, like all, profits most by peace and loses most by warfare.

MANNING, Uaioa Ubal Dapartateat, A. f. li L Scrvterr-TrMu- By the Late SmbimI Compiri Dowd the ages file the crowds of gomnum people, so patiently, so unob- trusively, so submissively that dumb pain catches the heart In response to the human tragedy and pain of the dwarfed lives and suppressed powers. Though the march of the world's tollers hurts with Its pain and Its pathos, yet It brings cheer, gladness and encouragement. Today, though the common people dig and delve, go down Into dark and weary places, do the work necessary to the Intricate organizations that supply social needs, yet many of them are able, comfortable and happy past the conception of former ages. And how? The labor movement. In some guise, with varying Ideals, the labor movement has existed wherever there has been need and oppression of the workers. It has led them up from slavery to freedom, through the gate of freedom upon the Infinite possibilities of free life that stretch far, fur away In the unfathonied future. And what Is this labor movement? It Is a living thing with soul and spirit, and a personality all its own. Those that are weary and heavy-ladecast their burdens upon It, straighten the bent back and ease the aching d freedom they muscles. In look up and see the higher levels and purer heights Just beyond. Men and women that hunger and thirst stretch out their hands and receive that which satisfies the present physical needs. As the pangs of distress become less sore, mind and heart are freed of the' burden of existence, ready for things of the spirit. Those made restless and alert by unsatisfied longing turn to this great human movement and there find a response to their craving for something that Is true and honest, practical, yet idealistic. To keep full and strong this tide of energy, to rouse the purpose and determination to strive for yet more and more, Is the great purpose of Labor day. Let the workers meet together, review the things done, realize the mistakes and the victories, take counsel with each other, to Inspire to press onward and upward. Now more than two million strong, the trade union movement of America Is a great force In the forward movement for human progress and welfare. Increased members and power bring Increased responsibilities. The labor movement will bear the responsibility with dignity and wisdom befitting Its high Ideals gnd purposes; It will meet opposition and many obstacles in Its struggle for the abolition of wrong, for the attainment of right, for the establishment of human brotherhood. But the organized labor movement will win ; it must win, it cannot fail. The triumph of labor for Justice and humanity is assured. It is writ not only In the stars, but also in the hearts and minds of the masses. rr Labor has more strength than ever. It has bigger mission than ever. It plays n bigger part In social. Industrial and political life. Labor per-- 1 forms a social service as well as the physical service of toll. The heroism and loyalty displayed by the pioneers of the great labor movement for the uplift of humankind are Indelibly stamped upon the social, economic and moral progress of our country. Indeed, when the historian of the future writes of the past fifty years, one of the brightest pages will be that of the activities of our movement for human betterment. Bttt great as this service has been and deeply as it Is appreciated, we cannot rest content with past achievement, but we should give the best that Is in 11s so that the many press-- 1 Ing problems with which we are now confronted may be satisfactorily solved. Organization, educntlon and publicity are the trinity, coupled with which will aid us real more than anything else In their solution. Attendance at meetings; secur- - C. E.

The organized workers of America challenge the employers to meet them In a campaign for practical peace, a campaign "for the eradication of strikes and lockouts and any other forms of concerted action purposing the stoppage of business upon which we are all dependent. The organized labor movement of America appeals to the public for support in the establishment and maintenance of practical peace to the end that the waste occurring In industrial warfare may be eliminated. But we cannot succeed In doing even the practical, logical and sound thing by merely thinking about It. We must work for It and fight for it, and constitute a platform upon which we can attract and hold the public confidence and challenge without fear of defeat the attention of the employers and Investors In Industry of America. Finally, to fight for peac.e Is neither paradoxical or unsound, but constitutes. In the judgment of the writer, the very life of Industrial prosperity and happiness for all of the elements of the world for the present and for the future. First National Labor Body The National Trades union, formed at New York city In 1834 as a federation of local unions and of the central bodies in different cities, was the first national organization of workers in the United States. It disappeared after the panic of 1834. Employment Agencies France had the first public employment agencies or bureaus, it is thought In 1843 such bureaus were established in Paris. The first private agency of the kind was established in 1885 and the first in this country in Ohio five years later. Wide World Photo John J. Manning. ing new members is real organization work; to inculcate a thorough knowledge of what our movement stands for In each and every member, is real education ; to let the general public know what we stand for and the service we have rendered society by our accomplishments, is real publicity. The American Labor movement Is the only movement in the world which uses the union label, shop card and working button to designate the product of its members or where they render service. By demanding that these emblems be displayed whenever we make a purchase of goods or service, we will be rendering real to all who are enrolled in the great army of organized labor. The use of these emblems by any employer indicates that he is in harmony with our demand for industrial democracy. Industrial democracy is founded upon a trade agreement, and it is only through such an agreement, under which the workers have an equal voice with the employer in establishing standards for conditions of labor, that this democracy is secured. Let us, therefore, on the day dedicated to labor, resolve that if we have been negligent In our duty to the great cause in which we are enlisted, we will gladly assume our share of this work in the future, to the end that we will merit the heritage g:cen vs by our predecessors.
