D NOTHING AND LOOKED j It WISE J c J t < i r ABOR day was L r celebrated in Salt 4 Lake yesterday with more spirit r and greater success suc-cess than ever before 1 be-fore in the citys history Owing to the enthusiasm with which the united labor organizations or-ganizations entered into the preparations prepara-tions for the demonstration the ranks of the toilers were brought to the front la bravo array and made a showing of which individually and collectively 4u collective-ly they may well be proud The parade pa-rade was flattering to trades unionism union-ism In Salt Lake Twentyfive organizations organ-izations wero represented more than I 1300 men were in line and a pleasing 1 variety was given to the procession by distinguishing uniforms and appropriate 7 ap-propriate floats v v 4 The men of brawn and skill who build and beautify and fashion the numberless things belonging to the in i flustrlal world swung along with a 1 step of conscious pride and power They excited tho admiration and were the praise of the crowds of spectators who lined the thoroughfares T The parade was of course the big I feature of the day but It was not all Lt The holiday ws8 filled with enjoyment I A programme of sports Including a road race and league ball game besides be-sides minor contests attracted a great c throng to Layoon Unfortunately the athletics encroached en-croached upon the time and the feast of oratory planned for the evening had to be canceled The workingmen and their friends were deprived of the pleasure of hearing tho good things about themselves which some of the best orators of the day were prepared to utter With this disappointment I excepted the day from beginning tq s end was a success PARADE WAS A BIG AFFAIR k TwentyFive Unions Comprising Over 1300 Men Were in Line The Labor day parade was the greatest great-est in the history of organized labor i In Utah The procession Included twentyfive labor organizations with four bands and detachments from the t police and fire departments in addition addi-tion making a total number of 13fO Individuals and as the organizations I marched in columns of twos for the most part the procession extended I over eleven blocks The float display was excellent In most cases > displaying very creditable skill and taste Each organization had its Individual badge and some or these were handsomely ki gotten up The floats carrying working G operatives and machinery were the c special objects of attraction and the I I youthful part of the crowd was deeply interested In the antics of Joe Sheff jier the clown who drove In a one horse rig that had seen very much better days Not a few of the unions wore special attire which looked very welL The I display of banners was worthy of special spe-cial mention all being artistically and i I some very handsomely gotten up The I 4 parade was twenty minutes late in I I starting but when under way it went i tilt without a hitch and covered the I proscribed line of inarch twice owing t the parade being confined to the I contra part oC the city The streets all along the line of march were crowded with people many of whom 1 were from out of town and street car tralllc was for the lima suspended At i the conclusion the general sentiment C was that It had proved a greater success suc-cess than was anticipated and every onujwas pleased f BORDER OF PROCESSION
