Show THE LABOR procession 4 ilk 1 i I 1 sask r procession of working people r was a fine sight eight not because i W was any remarkable display of M of insignia or of features novel to such parades but the order and deportment of the men their cleanliness their neat and gentlemanly apparel and their independent mien and carriage were striking to one familiar with processions professions process ions of laboring men in the old world the contrast was very great it showed the difference between the spirit of labor here and there the marks of servility of ill remunerated toil of beery heaviness of carelessness as to dress of poor home influences fluen ces to be noted in parts at ac least of the make up of some european labor parades were all conspicuously absent today and the appearance and demeanor of the men proclaimed tle the fact that they breathe the air of liberty that they are fairly paid for their skill and handiwork and that they have a good perception of the dignity of labor 11 there was only one occurrence during the parade which jarred on the feelings of spectators spectator it was a small affair but we notice it on principle some men were at work on a building near the corner of main and south temple streets they were jeered and hooted by men in the procession nothing very unseemly was sai sal dand only one portion of the parading body made the noise but it suggested the idea that they had not yet reached the true ideal of freedom which not only demands liberty for itself but grants it fully to others most moot of the pa were too gentlemanly tle to indulge in this display ani we hope to see the day when all working men will recognize the right of others to work when they play or to play when others work and will not use any influence that savors of intolerance or oppression the parade on the whole was a pleasing success |
