HOLIDAY OF LABOR A BIG EVENT—Labor
Day, today is the twenty-seventh annual celebra
tion of Labor Day as a legal national holiday.
Labor day evolved from the aspiration of the labor
movement; it was not handed down as a present.
The history of Labor Day is significant of the in
creasing strength and progress of organized lebor.
Its recognition as a legal holiday was won by la
bor ; it was not given to labor.
The united voluntary efforts of the American
workers themselves established Labor Day as a
National holiday long before any state legislature
or the National legislature enacted the custom in
tostatute law. But the history of the statute law
is in itself significant ; it indicates the ever increas
-ing influence of the economic organizations of
labor over the deliberations of law makers.
The Labor Day idea was originated by P. .
McGuire for many years first vice-pretsident of
the American Federation of Labor. At a meeting
of the New York Central labor union, held on
May Bth, 1882, McGuire urged the propriety of
setting aside one day in the year as a general hol
iday for the laboring people. He suggested that
"it be called “Labor Day.” The idea was adopted
by the central labor union and it staged a Labor
Day parade and festival on the first Monday in
September 1882, 4
The American Federation of Labor endorsed
the national labor day holiday at its 1884 conven
tion, held in Chicago. The convention unani
mously adopted the following resolution, intro
duced by A C. Cameron, delegate from the Chicago
trades and labor alliance:
“Resolved, That the first Monday in September
of each year be set apart as a laborers’ national
holiday, and that we recommend its observance
by all wage workers, irrespective of sex, calling or
nationality.”
Through the activity of the state federations of
labor and the central labor bodies the Labor day
demand spread from city to city and state to state,
Many municipal councils and state legislatures
made it a legal holiday. Oregon was the first
state to accede to labor's demand that Lahor day
be made a state holiday. The Oregon Labor day
law was signed by the governor on February 21,
«887. The legislatures of Colorado, Masschi.ss
etts, New Jersey and New York also made Labtor
day a state holiday in 1887, Georgia. Illinois, In
diana, Kansas, Maine, Montana. New Hampshire,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Washington in
1891; Alabama, Louisiana, Utah and Virginia in
892, and California, Delaware, Florida, Minneso
ta, Rhode Island, Texas and Wisconsin in 1893,
In the meantime American Federation of Labor
cfficials sought congressional legislation to make
Labor Day a hationa)fltoliday. in conformity with
the resolution of the 1884 convention. 'The bill
became a law ten years later. It pasesd Congress
on June 28th, 1894, -
On June 29th, 1894, President Cleveland signed
tac Labor Day law in the presence oi Amos 3
Cummings, representative in congress from New
York City. Mr Cummings presented the pen and
penhoder used by President Cleveland to Fresi
dent. Samuel Gompers. '
In his annual report to the 1894 American Fed.
eration of Labor Convention, President Gomper s
said : ‘ |
“National Labor Day—lt affords me pleasare
to be able to report that the demand by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor for making the first Mon
day in September of each year a legal holiday has
passed Congress and was made a law on June 29,
1894 7

*AN INTELLIGENT 'EFFORT TO AVOID
THE LAW’S DELAY—Georgians wiil be inte
ested in an experiment now under way in Illinlglis
whereby it is hoped to simplify court litigation anc
circumvent the so-called “law’s-delay”, of whe
we hear so much from time to time. Lawyers
themselves realize the good that might come of
simplified litigation and doing away with unnec
essary delay in rearhing {inal and binding legal
conclusions,
Chicago‘s business circles are interested in and
watching closely the showing made Ly the volu
tary *“!rade Conrt”, established under authority
of the I'lirois arbitrations and awards act. This
court is rew, It represenfs the invinsible third
party, tt.c public—in every trade dispute,
l It may be appealed to by joint agreement in
writiag by the parties to any such quarrel. 1t is
ot compulsory, but its findings ar.: final as tc
jtestions of fact when both parties have referred
their case to it. il eLA e e
It prunes a cause of mere dilatory technicalities
and chminates the delays and continuances con
sequent upon crowded court docket:. It mater
tally :educes counsel fees as well, because in the
iirst piace it does away with questicns of proced
urc for the consideration of which counsel must
necessarily charge, while, in the sccond place, a
iixed s hedule of fees for service is previded to
which counsel must conform and wh:: is graded
according to the amount of controversy. The lit
igation who goes to this court can tell in advance
with rcasonable accuracy just what it costs are
going to be.
v s far the court has functioned with celerity
wind 15 the satisfaction of those aprealing to it.
Besides greatly expediting the causes bronght be
fore it, it has relieved the overcrowded dockets of
the State Courts.,
The laws delays are an ancient “scandal” in
Chicago, as everywhere eclse, including Georgia.
and this cooperative effort to end them seems a
wise move. At least, the experiment is intelli
gent and well worth w:fiching.”
\
The above editorial from the Atlanta Georgian
bears out the suggestion made some weeks ago
by Sydney - Clare in re ‘;City Court”. It
seems a court as outlined in Mr. Clrae’s formet
article is already in existence in Chicago and doing
satisfactory service.

BAGASSE—Webster defines bagasse as “sugar
cane refuse as delivered from the crushing mill.”
It was “waste” substance so common in the
South, tons upon tons of which has annually for
years been cast aside to clutter up the landscape
and cane mill surroundings on southern farms and
to dispose of which has always been a source of
annoyance to the planter.
But just as utilitarian uses of great value were
eventually found for cotton seed; for formerly un
desirable soft woods, from which we now get pa
per; for straw and inedible grass, from which the
hats, mats, etc., are made, so, it is said upon re
sponsible authority, that begasse has been found
to be a useful product as a building material. |
A mill in Louisiana a short time ago turncdl
out a bagasse board twelve feet wide and 800 feet
in length capable of being sawed into enough lum
ber to side a good sized house.
The Dallas (Texas) News recently discussed
the utility of bagasse, and its availability as a
iumber substitute, in part as follows: ‘
“For one thing, it is waterproof. For another
it can be sawed and nailed like any other lumber.
It weighs only six-tenths of a pound per spuare
foot, which is, of course much lighter than ordi
nary wood. The chemicals employed in the mak
ing of it tend to resist decay. It takes a coat of
paint, stucco and the like readily. It is a god in
sulator against sound, heat or the lack of heat. It
can be used inn either interior or exterior work.
It is a solid board, not built up of layers. It can
be made into canoes, sheathing. for refrigerators,
fireless cookers, ceiling, subflooring, and any num
ber of divers uses. Finally it is expected to low
er building costs”,
It may be, indeed, that there is a brand new in
dustry in the making—and a distincly southern
industry—and who will assume to foretell its pos
sibilities!
Possibly it is literally true that “there is nothing
rew under the sun”; but the ingentity of man is
onstagyly evolving and discovering new uses for
hings that are old and commonplace—Atlanta
