LABOR DAT IS FOB YOU.
The question of a Labor Day celebration
appeals to every side of the man who toils.
The first object in view in the setting aside
of a day that should be called "Labor Day"
was that the workinsrmen of this country
would have a day which they could call
their very own in a most particular sense.
It was intended that he should, with his
family and friends, gather with his fellows
and their families and friends and forget
for the moment the trials of his daily exis
tence. The enjoyment of the occasion was
to take the form of celebrations of this
sort at some suitable and accessible place.
On the other hand. Labor Day was set
aside that some recognition would be given
to the great work which the laborer per
forms for his city, his country and himself.
Every other great act of history and of our
times is fittingly commemorated by a holi
day of some sort, and it was recognized
that the great and glorious task of daily
toil should not go by unnoticed.
The state took this much notice of the
fact that labor really existed and set
aside this day as desired by the organized
workers. On our own behalf we should
at least do as much.
There is no reason why all organized
workingmen should not get together on
this particular day and take account of
their standing. It will be found, we are
sure, that there is plenty to do at this
time in the way of keeping alive the or
ganizations of which they are members.
Especially is this true of the larger and
more powerful unions. The bigger they
are the more attention they attract' and the
more satisfaction there would be to smash
them.
Employers are not overlooking a bet
along this line, and if any union, no mat
ter how powerful, believes that any employ
er or set of employers is going to allow
them to exist out of some philanthropic
or economical motive, they are doomed to
wake up some fine morning and discover
that they are beseiged by some powerful
combination of employers.
There are fair employers as well as un
fair ones, but the latter greatly predom
inate, and the old story about the leaven
in the bread still holds good. This brings
us to the really pertinent significance of
the day.
If we should celebrate, we should also be
united in the celebration. Why should this
or that organization stand aloof in this
matter Is it not the concern of all, for
the moment any union, however independ
ent it may have been, finds itself in trouble,
the first and instinctive act is to appeal to
the brother unionists they have heretofore
disregarded.
This is the lesson of Labor Day. Do not
get together only when your selfish inter
est is involved, but stay together at all
times and do your share in helping the
ones to whom you yourself will appeal if
you get . into trouble. If we can learn this
lesson. Labor Day will have attained its
end and will justify its existence. Balti
more Leader.
