Such utterances as these are evidence of the fact that Mr. Gompers warning so ong ago that intelligence must prevail, . has been heeded by American labor, and a part of the American - laboring mans prosperity today is due to the fact that he has brought to his task an intelligent conception of both its rights and its obligations. For that reason Rodins faIs not mous statue, The Thinker, an inappropriate symbol of the Amera man of brains as ican working-man- , well as brawn. Rev. Charles Stelzle, an eminent sociologist and student of labor problems, once wrote: zh& TmirngR By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HAT is the spirit of Labor Day? There may be as many answers to that question as there are answerers, but from several of them, though phrased in different terms, It may be possible to arrive at some statement which will come near expressing the meaning, not only to labor but to all other divisions of human society, of this day of days for the working man. Labor Day was first suggested in the New York city Central Labor anion in May, 18S2. It was decided to observe the first Monday In September of that year as a festival day, with a parade, speech-makinand picnics. Labor held that, whereat there were other holidays representing the religious, civil and military spirit, there was none which stood for the Industrial spirit. Accordingly. thi3 first celebration was held, and it was n big success. In 1884 the American Federation of Labor officially proclaimed the first Monday in September as Labor Day. All wage earners, irrespective of sex, calling or nationality, were urged to observe it until It should be as uncommon for a man to work on Labor Day as it would be for him to toll on the Fourth of July. State legislatures were urged to make the day a legal holiday, and 32 of them eventually did enact laws to tjiat effect.. Congress made it a legal holiday in 1894 for the District of Columbia and the territories and, although a number of states have no Labor Day law, the federal act has been accepted by all of them, and this holiday is generally observed throughout the United States. Perhaps one ef the first Interpretations of the spirit of Labor Day was that uttered by the late Samuel Gom-per- s, the Grand Old Man of American Labor, in the first Labor Day editorial which he wrote after congress had made it a legal holiday. The editorial, which appeared in the American Federationist for September, 1894, follows: In the cycle of time we are again on the dawn of our most Important national holiday Labor Day. Most Important, since it for ths first time in the history of the world devotes a day to the recognition of the fact that the wage earners must hereafter be regarded as the important factor in the economy of life. In this day when so' many look upon the dark side of the progress of the labor movement and the predict worse things in store for laborer, it is not amiss to direct attenof the tion to the fact that the life human family is one vast struggle, and that though the progress is not as swift as we, as well as our impatient brothers and sisters of labor, would like it to be, yet the fact that in our eecade we can see the rights of labor more clearly defined, the vantage ground obtained, and obtaining a clearer insight into the existing wrohgs, the more intelligent perception and determination to achieve labors rights. The past year has witnessed several contests, some of them defeats, but ob- though defeated In the Immediate new Ject sought, they have awakened' conscience In the American people, and will' contribute more to the thoroughof organization of the wage workers our country than hundreds of meetings. speeches or pamphlets.

Each defeat acts as a trenchant warning to the toilers of America that error must be avoided, that Intelligence must prevail, and that no success can come to them unless it is through their own efforts and their own organization, and by their persistency manifested. Pessimism results In indifference, lethargy and Impotency and this In turn simply permits the corporations and trusts and the entire capitalist class to filch from the toiler rights which have been dearly bought. The organizations of labor must be thorough and complete and above all must be permanent. Those organizations which arise like a flash In the pan only go to show how arduous is the struggle before the toller, in order to overcome the antagonism of the g classes of our coun-- try. Today more than ever the tollers tecognize how .. essentially they are thrown upon thelr own resources; that they have few if any outside their own ranks who sympathize with them In their efforts for the emancipation of mankind. Tollers, organize. Let us carry on the good work and In a few more revolutions of the earth upon its axis we shall have a better world a better mankind. Waiting will not accomplish it; deferring till another time will not secure it. Nw is the time for the workers of America to come to the standard of their unions and to organize as thoroughly, completely and compactly as is possible. Let each worker bear in mind the words of Longfellow: In the worlds broad field of battle. In the bivouac of life. Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! wealth-producin- Written at a time when American labor had not yet won the many victories which have characterized its progress during the past 40 years of American economic history, that editorial is a striking reflection of the spirit of Labor Day, 1894, when the greatest concern was for the "rights of Since that time the compact labor. organization of American labor, for which Mr. Gompers uttered his plea, has brought about amazing changes. In some foreign countries revolution has failed to accomplish for labor what a process of evolution has accomplished for,, it In the United States. Today the American worker is the most prosperous of any in the world, and he is the envy of wage earners everywhere. And Labor Day, 1927, finds him still standing steadfastly for the "rights of labor, but he is also conscious of the responsi bilities of labor as well. That sense of responsibility was voiced recently by one of its leaders, John P. Frey, president of the Ohio State Federation of Labor, when he said: A portion of our obligation, our duty to the great movement which we represent, is to deal with employers with whom we have friendly relations in such a manner that we will not only by exretain their full confidence, but to realize other employers lead ample of justice, that not only as ofa matter individual advanbut as a matter Intage to themselves, it Is to their working terest to establish friendly relations with trade union organizaIf tion of their employees. our trade union movement Is to fulfill it exists, its polthe purpose for which attitude must be icies its methods,, its retaln-the confisuch as to whi and the majority of dence and good will ofunion members, Trade employers. mil! trade union discipline andto the our wel essential tant spirit are union movement de fare, but a trade ... not.

It will be found that the chief glory of labor has not been in what Us leaders or men gained for themselves nor for their generation, but in what they secured for those who followed. This fact should make us more generous In our estimate of ths value of the services of those who are today giving their hearts and lives to many a cause which seems to make but little progress. . . . The normal man, be he rich or poor, educated through books or through experience, be he black or white, yellow or red. no matter what his circumstances so long as hes a man who is doing a mans job In the world, is helping the other fellow in a way which Is rarely appreciated. The poorest, neediest man in the world, who Is doing his best. Is rendering a real service to the richest man In the world. He Is making a contribution to the worlds work which mere wages do not repay. Even the despised immigrant who doesn't understand a word of English, but who is com. contributing his share to the mon good by shoveling dirt In a construction camp, .la making a debtor of that the man who will later ride over null-marailroad track in his comfortable because made smooth-runnin- g that Italian made a good Job of his shoveling. But everywhere In human life, In the lowliest places, in shop and factory, on the street and on the road, everywhere, men and women and even little children are bringing their contributions to the great treasure house to which we all come and freely draw some more, some less; and he who draws most becomes the greatest. debtor to all mankind. Heres the point, then: Let's talk leas about helping and lets think more about exchange of service for thats n, what it Read these words again : The man who is doing a mans job in the world who is doing his best making a contribution to the world's work contributing his share to the common good. .They lead inevitably to one That' phrase-2-ih- e dignity of labor. phrase has been given a slightly different wording by Thornton Oakley, writing in the American Federationist Is.'- - 20-W-eather Oxford-Cambrid- water-maste- r.
