LABOR UNSONS f x Men From tho Shops Make the 'Best Showing- in Numbers Ogden Rapid Transit Employes Have Unique Float Boys of Industrial Indus-trial School Win Applause By Their Drill. 1 Labor decked itself in its gayest attire today and in streaming colors, hi which the ominous red predominated, predomin-ated, took possession of tho city's streets, during the forenoon. The labor Day parade, whllo not as large in number as that of some former years, was a very presentable one and gae a. creditable demonstration of thej strength of organized labor In this city. While in many of the labor parades of former years the merchants of the city have entered floats, there was a conspicuous lack of business floats In the parade of this morning, the floats which took part in the procession being be-ing those of the organized crafts. Tho organization which apparently made the greatest showing In the parade was the federated crafts of the Harri-man Harri-man lines, there 'being about 250 men in lino from the Southern (Pacific shops. The parado was formed on Hudson avenue and Twenty-fourth street, at 10 o'clock, and was led by Grand Marshal Mar-shal J. M. Barnes of the Electricians' union, riding a black horse and decorated deco-rated in patriotic colors. Following the grand marshal was a platoon of the city police, also upon horseback. The officers chosen to represent the local force wore Officers Orln Had-lock, Had-lock, James Hearn, John Russell and Thomas Rackham, The Labor Day committee, riding In an auto, followed the city officers. First place in the parado was given to tho federated shopmen, who may soon bo called to demonstrate tho strength of labor In tho ponding controversy con-troversy with the Harriman railroad system. "With the exception of tho blacksmith department of the federation, federa-tion, all of the hop men wore their street clothes. No banners of any kind were carried, except tho official banners of tho organization and a largo American flag. The 'blacksmiths and their helpers were attired in their shop clothes and aprons, part of tho men carrying sledges. Following the federation marched tho city band with tho United Browerv Workers following. The brewers wero riding on a float, which was arrayed In many colors and flags. Back of tho Tirewery -workers marched the carpenters and joiners, which in number num-ber were second only to the shopmen. All of tho carpenters wore blue shirts nnd marched coatless. Their contingent con-tingent in the procession was headed by a large emblem of their local, carried car-ried by lour men. The cigar makers, while not large in number, formed a very conspicuous conspicu-ous Jiart of the parado. The tobacconists tobac-conists rodo upon a gorgeously decorated decor-ated float and were engaged In rolling small souvenir cigars, through each of which extended a small red ribbon. Moro than a thousand of these wore given, away during tho parade. The street car men followod tho cigar makers, marching in uniform. Behind the marchers, however, was a float representing an Ogden Rapid Transit car, one of the most umquo floata lu tho processlom A large number num-ber of the local street car men were In line, considering that many of them wero either at work or of necessity kept away from tho line. The boys of the State Industrial school word given a place In lino just back of the street car men. The boys marched In military uniforms and order, carrying dummy guns. At tho conclusion of tho march, tho boys gave a very interesting competitive drill In front of the Union labor hall ou Twenty-fourth street. They were cheered by an immense crowd of spectators. spec-tators. The city fire department turned out for the parado with nearly tho entire fire fighting equipment of tho city. Following the department, came the local 'barbers, one of their number carrying a mammoth razor made of tho finest Sheffield wood. All of tho tonsorlal artists wore the regulation white coat of the trade. The steam laundry wagons ended the parade, forming the lost division of tho procession.
