It wa a crowd ot sturdy ) C- yeomen , the brawn nnd muscle of the city a crowd that enjoyed the day Immensely. Thcro wcro badgcn ot all sorts exhibited , from ornate silken ribbons to bunches of fresh hops stuck In cups , The refresh- Jnout pavilions did a big business , a * It was a very hot day and the crowd was dis posed to leisurely enjoy the sights as It. moved through the grounds. After the Jong parade bad passed through the gates ot tbo exposition the people pre pared for dinner. The program did not be- Kin until late In the afternoon , no that the vleltore might have an opportunity ot hear ing the concert by Bollitedt's band In the Auditorium. After this the crowd went to the race course , where there was a game of base ball between representatives of the printers' and the Bricklayers' unions. The Kama was an exciting ono and when the aeventh Inning waa over , it was found that the Bricklayers had put It over the Printers to the tune of 9 to 7. The feature of the gauio was the hard batting by the Printers In the seventh inning , when they got down to work and guvo an exhibition ot what they could do. The battcrlea for the Trlnt- tcra were Koloy , Peterson and Ix > ftus ; for I i the Bricklayers , Hoye and Sage.

Hero a tug-of-war between the ( ravel Hoofers and the Electrical Workers was the main Attraction. It took them eorao tlmo to got ready tor the pull , but when the work was begun the Electrical Workers walked right away with their opponents. There were ten men on a side and the dls- i ( . tanco cither way was ten feet. In the evening the assemblage was much nugmontcd and the concert on the Plaza wan largely attended and heartily applauded. A novef feature of the program was the strlko of the musicians , which was such a. realistic affair that the audience thought surely Mr. Bollatedt had suddenly become nonunion and they wore le.vvlng him. The fireworks were well attended , also , and the day came to a close with great crowds passing through the Midway to sco the eights afforded by that unique street. No unpleasant accidents occurred during the day to mar the pleasure. Several women were slightly overcotno with the heat and were taken to the Emergency hos pital , where they were cared for.

Mingled with the crowds who celebrated Labor day at the Exposition were many wearers of blue badges on which were the words signifying that they were members of'i the Royal Arcanum secret society. The members of the order arrived on the Ki omuls In tbo afternoon , large contingents Joining the Omaha members from Council Bluffs and South Omaha.

Ho said that frater- nallam had educational value and predicted that It would do much far the human race.

' At this Juncture a little eplce waa In troduced Into the meeting by the rendition of "Hot Time , " by Bellstedfs bund , which brought out for the conductor a great OVH- , tlon. W. Holt Apgar , supreme regent of the order from New Jersey , made an eloquent - quont address.

He spoke In par- tlcular of Omaha and said he was sur prised and pleased to ECO so sreat a city < o see so many large and handsome bus ) . ness block ? and so muny signs of Industry and progress.

All during the day after the morning parades the grounds wcro thronged | with stranters who were bent on seeing It | i nil and In the evening the crowd was nug- i tnented by the city people , who flecmlnjjly turned out on masse to the concert bv the Bellatcdt famous band , after which they did as all good crowds do wade a rush for the Midway. It was a noticeable fact , however , that while they were a crowd of money spenders , they seemed to know the shows that gave thorn value received , consequently the more reliable ones played to coed crowds every performance.

The parade formed promptly ] at 10 o'clock at the corner of Twenty-third and N , and headed by Franek's banci marched through the principal streets of the city. Besides the Tradce and Labor Council fourteen labor unions were repre sented In the line , the rear being brought up by the city fire department. For a greater portion of thojwoy along the route of march the streets were lined with spectators , and complimentary remarks wcro made on the fine appearance of the members of the dif ferent unions. M. Donnelly was grand mar shal and rode at the head of the procession along with S. D. Royer , Herman SSelprlck , P. Caulkln and F. Vovasek , who acted aa aides. After covering the downtown streets and marching through the center of the packing home district the procession proceeded to Syndicate park , where It disbanded. Al though the speaking was announced to com mence nt 1 ( . 'circle it WHS nearer 3 before President Donnelly of the South Omaha Trades and Labor Council Introduced Jason It. Lewis of the Typographical union as the Qrot speaker. In bis Introductory remarks Mr. Lewis said that those who belonged to the trades unions were glad to meet on Labor day and discuss ma tiers of Interest and formulate plans for the betterment of the condition of the laboring man , It Is necessary , onld the epeaker , to discuss these questions In order to arrive at a suitable and proper conclusion and also to direct the power the organiza tions possess for the purpose of bettering existing conditions. "In these days of com binations of capital and the formation of trusts , " aald the speaker , "tho trades unions begin to be looked upon as nn absolute necessity" In continuing this line of thought Mr. Lewis said that hr wast glad the laborers had found this out , as trades unions were beginning to be recognized all over tbo laud. This recognition of the unions will , In the opinion of Mr. Lewis , prevent the abso lute collapse of the Industries of the country. In fact he eald that capital bad already be gun to recognize the benefits of trades unions. Mr. Lewis holds that the two great enemies of unionism are militarism and courts of in junction. Then ho went on to tell of the number of strikes which might have beun won bad not either the military arm of the government or the courtl Interfered. These two bo considered tbo greatest enemlea or ganized labor had to fight , and he favored the election of congressmen who would pledge thcmselveo to vote for n reduction ot the standing army. The courts of Injunction were equally disastrous to the success of unions , and the ( election of Judges who would refrain from granting Injunctions ut the behest of corporations waa suggested as one remedy for the members of unions to take. Sidney J. Kent , deputy labor commissioner , was the next speaker. Ho spoke of the many changes In South Omaha since 1894 , the last time he addressed an audience here , and also mentioned the tact that many new faces appeared among the members of organized I WALTHAM WATCHES / The best and most reliable timekeepers i rt | i I lv made in this country or in any other. Tbe "Perfected American Walcb , " an illustrated book of in teresting information about watches , will be sent upon request. American Walt bam Watcb Co. , Waltbam , Mass. labor. Mr. Kent said that he remembered the time that people told him he could do nothing about organizing unions la South Omaha and that lie was wasting bis time talking to the men , as they would not stick together. His experience bad been that the men who talked thus were those who would not stick. Unions were now stronger In South Omaha than ever before , was shown by the parade and the attendance at the cele bration. "Trades unions today , " said the speaker , "are nothing more nor Ires than a protest against Injustice and a demand that a spirit of right shall prerall. " In p ! . lng of employers Mr. Kent eald that nowadays employers sometimes had the audacity to designate the ticket which em ployes should vote and the organization of labor unions was for the purpose , amoMt other things , of breaking up this pernicious practice and to break the bonds of the men. Considerable tlmo was devoted by Mr. Kent to the subject of education. He fa vors the education of the children of labor- Ing people In order that they may bo given a fair start In life , He deprecates the em ployment of women and children , especially In the packing houses. In conclusion Mr , Kent ureed the heads of families to send their children to school Instead of trying to cot work for them In sweat shops or packing houses. Asa Taylor was the last spoiker iitvl lift talked along tbo same lines as the olbert. At 'the conclusion ot the speeches contests tor prizes wcro In order and conIdenil > lo sjioit was had In this way. There was danc ing during the late afternoon nnd evening , Franek's orchestra furnishing the music. Take It air together the day was cnjoyably spent by the laboring people and the en tertainment nrovlded reflected credit upon the members of the various committees In charge.

ENJOY THEIR OUTING AT THE EXPOSITION CrrdHntilP .IhairliiR of the Lnhnrern of the VnrloiiH CrnfM Afternoon Spent Plcnlc-l"n hloii , with ( Inmen nnd Conlcntn. The I abor Day celebration and the circus combined to brine out largo crowds on the streets yesterday and the streets were thronged more densely and at an earlier hour than usual on holidays. The observ ance of Labor Day by the merchants In closing their places ot business was very general and the result was very satisfactory to the managers ot the demonstration , both Inthe line ot the parade Itself and in the crowds of spectators. The parade fonncd at the corner ot Cap itol avenue and Fourteenth and adjacent streets. It was a little delayed In starting by the circus parade preceding It , which took up more time than had been counted on. But when It finally started It fulfilled every expectation of the marshals and the com mittee which had planned It. Altogether It * as a highly creditable showing ot the sturdy working population which makes the prosperity o ( a largo city possible. The column was headed by Fred M. Youngs , grand marshal , and his aides , Frank Gardner and Chris Heine. Mayor Moorrs , the members of the city council , and other city officials rode In carriages nnd were fol I lowed by tne memDers or tno ucnirai uaoor | Union , a comnrttteo ot which body organ ized the parade. Two unions of Painters and Decorators and the local Carpenters' > ! completed the first division. The painters marched In new white suits , carried a nand- Eomo bacner. and their column was a block long when closed up and marchlne three abreast. The carpenters probably had more men In line than any other union. They marched fojr abreast and the ranks were ; well closed up. The carpenters were fol- i ' lowed by a number of wagons containing displays ot the wares ot several sash and door factories. ! | I The second division was led by a long column of Journeymen Horseshoers , clad In red sweaters and wearing small red aprons adorned with a silver horseshoe. They carried a red banner bearing a large silver representation of the article which they handle every working day In the year. { The Leather Workers were without uni forms , but they carried an elaborate banner. The Cigar Makers' union turned out In largo numbers. The Allied Printing Trades council carried a huge cloth representation of the wall known union label. The Typographical union and the Pressmens' union were In the line. A delegation from tbo Retail Clerks supported a transparency bearing the advlco to patronize those who help thu cause. The Barbers' Protective association was headed by a wagon bearing.a repre sentation of tbe card which every union barber is able to show. They marched in the white coats of their craft. The third division was led by the Brick layers , one of the largo unions of the parade , and the Plasterers. The Sheet Metal Workers , girded about with tin belts and carrying tin tubes for walking etlcks , made a novel appearance. The plutocratic Plumbers and Steam Fit ters came next , riding In the rnoat luxurious . ' rubber-tired carriages tbe city could furnish. They seemed to stand the heat and fatigue of the parade better than any of the others. The fourth division was led by the Brewery Workers' unlorif the members of which wcro fantastically decorated about the head and waist with bunches ot hops. The badge of their occupation was immediately - mediately recognized by the crowds , and was cheered. The Machinists' and Iron Moulders' unions came next , and Judging by tbe number ot the latter the Iron Interests form a large part of the Industries of the city. The muscular Boilermakers were followed by as many of the Locomotlvo Firemen and Switchmen as were not engaged In running trains. The Brick Makers' union was next In line.'The Electrical Workers' union had seventy men in line. The Bakers and Confectioners made ono of the best showings of tbo parade. Each member carried u walking stick with a bun at each end of It. On the back of the ban ner staff , at the head of the column , was a loaf of bread Then came a number of bakers' wagons , from the tops of which young women threw buns to the crowd , for every one of which there was a great scramble. A rong string of pie wagons came next and the email boys who had been suc cessful In the struggles for bune shouted for pies to bo thrown out. But no pics wcro forthcoming. The parade marched up Farnam street to Fifteenth , north on Fifteenth to Douglas , whence It went east to Ninth and , returning to Sixteenth , broke up , almost all of the marchers taking cars for the exposition.

Several men suspected of complicity In the assault on John Mullane were taken Into custody by Sergeant WIsenberg early yes terday morning. One ot them , Thomas Baln- brldgo , a plumber living at 1128 North Sev enteenth street , Is believed to bo the man who struck Mullane with the hammer , and he Is charged with assault. The others ad mitted having been present when the blow was struck , and they are held as witnesses. Their names are E. J. Hart , proprietor of a pool room at Twenty-fourth and Cumlng streets ; William McVey , a plumber living In the same vicinity , and William Nichols , employed by J. W. Andrews of Fremont. Other men who saw the fight and were with ono or the other party will be arrested. Mnllnne'N Statement. Mullano la lying in a ward at St. Joseph's hospital In a precarious condition. Dr. Foote dressed the Injury during the morn ing and after an examination stated that both platen of the skull were fractured , exposing the brain. Whether the man would llvo or not , ho eald , could not be told with any probability of certainty until forty-eight hours passed. Mullano has been unconscious a part of the time , but during yesterday morning he rallied and was able to make a statement to Deputy County Attorney Dunn describ ing the incidents ot tbo light In which he was Injured. His story was as follows : "I was with a party of plumbers in the Schlitz pavilion nnd the first trouble was due to a group of men who entered and stood In front of us so we could not see. Wo asked them to sit down. They took ex ceptions to the way the remarks were uttered and refused to do so. Some of the boys had words over the matter and It ended by them Inviting each other outside to settle the dispute. "Out on the Midway two of the men came to blows. I do not know their names. One was with us and the other was the big tall man who afterwards bit me with a hammer. At that time the men were parted and our party moved across the street to have a few drinks. Wo remained there half an hour , ' It was tbo Swiss vllllage , I think. Then wo started for homo , agreeing to stop at the German village a few minutes on tbo way out of the grounds. ' "While walking along the East Midway I met a clerk named George Mathowa and slopped to chat with him near ono of tbo booths at the side of the streets of Cairo. The men I was with moved on ahead toward the German vlllago , and aa I started to follow I saw a man running toward me pointing hits linger and eboutlng : 'There bo IB ! there he Is ! ' As bo stepped up to mo I struck him , knocking him down. Tbo other members of his crowd were right behind me , running to hid assistance , and the first one to reach mo made a paos at mo , but I dodged and landed a blow on his law that floored him. That Is the last thing I remember ex- 1 cept that tbo tall men who did the fighting In front ot Scblltz's pavilion was the man who hit me with the hammer. Cbarlea Fol- ! son ) , one of the boys with me , saw the bloir otruck. " \ < > Trouhlt * lit till' CiiTiilllii VIIIIK < ' > "The trouble did not occur here as Jlrst reported , " said Henry Rohllff , proprietor of tbo U or man Vlllago. "As near as I can re member It was about 11:45 : o'clock last night when a party of young men came along , of which John Mullane was a member. My brother , who Is a plumber , was hclplne me out lost evening and when bo saw who It was that wan Injured , ho brought htm In here , and I gave the young mini nil the as sistance I could. "As near as I can learn Mullane was In jured somewhere In the vicinity of the Streets of Cairo. When I asked him what was the matter ho told mo that there had been a row in the Schlitz pavilion nnd that when bo went on the Streets of Cairo be wus struck with a hammer , I thought per- haptj the wound might be a serious one and told Mullano that he ought to do something for It right away. I WHH afraid the skull might be fractured , and while I was bathing the blood from his face I felt of his head where ha was Btruck , but as near as I could ascertain there was no fracture.

Drexel Shoe Co. , 1410 FARNA1I STkEET. affair was Miss Burke , who runs a stand In the Streets of Cairo. She ald : "Four men came along and stopped at my refresh ment gland. The man who was Injured was standing on the lower end ot the platform In front of the stand when ho was struck. Ho had taken a drink of water and waa apparently watting for his companions to drink theirs. I can not say whether anyone ono was with the man who struck the blower or not , as the affair occurred so quickly I had not time to take notice. "The man who made the assault struck two persons , Mullane being hit second. Ho came walking down the street with the crowd and , walking up to the men standing In front of my stand , delivered the two blows In rapid succession , nnd made hli cscapo in the throng before any ot us knew exactly what had happened. At first I thought they were only playing or fooling. "The man who was hit first staggered out Into the street. The guards took after him because they supposed he was the ono who struck the blow. When Mullano was hit ho fell to the platform nnd lay there until he was picked up by his companions. "After the blood had been washed off bis face and head the party started down the street. I did not think the man wna badly Injured , because be seemed to bo all right after bis face was bathed. " IlninbrltlKC M kc a Statement. Thomas Balnbrldge tells a different story regarding the end of the fight. Hli descrip tion of the beginning of the trouble tallies with that ot Mullane. He admits being the man who came to blows with one ot the plumbers in front of the Schlitz pavilion and j says that none other ot his crowd struck i any blows or was hit by any of the opposing j party. Bainbrldge f > ays the men ho was with went to the Swles Village when they left Schlitz , but after bolng In there a few rnln- } utea they saw the plumbers there and left , t starling for home via the Sixteenth street J entrance. "U was when passing along by the booths of the Streets ot Cairo , " Bainbridge - bridge said , "that I first eaw any ot th plumberu again. The fellow that was after ward hurt had been pretty free with bin mouth all the evening. He was responsible for all the trouble. I was walking with a lad named Billy Norman when I unexpcctj j odly caught sight ot this same fresh guy swinging a heavy blow on Norman's face. Billy staggered and began to muniblo some thing about being hurt. I ran to help him and picked up his hat , which bad fallen of , and in doing so eaw this man I call the freeh guy hit another of our party. I saw no one hit him. I did not hit him with my fist or a hammer or anything else. " When Balnbrldgo was told that Mullane had stated to the county attorney that the man v-bo struck him was tbo one who did the fighting in front of the Schlitz pavilion earlier In the evening , bo admitted being the man who fought with one of the plumbers nt the place mentioned , but denied explicitly that he struck Mullane when the fight oc curred by the Streets of Cairo.
