THE PROGRAM FOR LABOR'S BIG DAY
The program for -Lincoln's celebration
of Labor Day is now complete, save for a
few minor details. There will be no
parade this year, but the workers Avill
have a picnic at Capital Beach in the
afternoon and evening, and the big basket
dinner at o'clock is looked forward to as
one of the big features of the day. One
half of the gate receipts at the Beach are
to be given to the Labor Day committee,
and after the incidental expenses of the
occasion are paid the balance is to be
given to the McNamara defense fund.
At- 4 p. m., after the sporting events
are pulled off, there will be a mass meet
ing in the Casino, at which time Bishop
Tihen will be the principal speaker. Be
fore Bishop Tihen arrived in Lincoln the
workers here had received a "wireless"
from Wichita. "The bishop is one of
our kind," said the wireless. "We owe
him a lot more than we can tell for what
he has accomplished in our behalf, and
he'll do as much for you. Get next to
him without delay." And it wasn't long
after Bishop Tihen landed in Lincoln
until the word went around: "The dope
from Wichita was all to the good." The
bishop will have a few words to say
about some of the social problems that
confront us, with a few other words cal
culated to help us along. Just before
Bishop Tihen is introduced Will M. Mau
"pin, president of the Nebraska State Fed
eration of Labor will speak briefly very,
very briefly.
At 7:30 p. m., Governor Aldrich will
deliver an address from the bandstand in
the Japanese tea garden. Following the
governor will be Clyde J. Wright, who
will give in detail the history of the fa
mous McNamara case. Governor Aid
rich has given evidence of his friendship
for organized labor, and his address will
doubtless be listened to by a large and ap
preciative audience.
All sporting events will be held in
front of the grandstand in the Beach ball
park. Following is the program of events,
together with the prizes offered by en
terprising and liberal merchants of the
