The tall stacks a.c smoksless since Satur day night. Shop doo s are closed and rotton mill spindles have ceased their whirring f ,l a day. The men and wom en—-and the child workers, too —are celebrating the one day in the year they call th dr own. W’isel . the Lab" da\ committee abamh ned the palaue this yea.. on many September Mondays the worker* have arisen early, donned holiday uni forms and marched in the hot sun be hind brass bands, while wives and chil dren have sweltered on the sidewalks waiting for the parade to pass. Put this year the unions decided on a “safe and san?” celebration at Grant park, where the atmosphere is several degrees cooler and a great deal fresher than in Whitehall street. The working folk are ‘here by thousands today, fill ing the pavilion, dotting the wooded hillßides with splashes of gay color, keeping the popeo n men busy. 1 he.' crowded the trpi'ey cars before the sun had a chance to get in its work and the park was well filled before half Atlanta had finished its breakfast. Music of Three Bands Enlivens the Throngs. Three bands, all union musicians, of course, began theb program early in the day. The big concrete pavilion was given over to dancing. Farther down the park another band played every thing from grand opera to ragtime, with a big audience sitting on the grassy hillside. lite zoo folk held a regula ■ reception front the start and before the monkey cages the children formed such a crush that it required several cops to keep the smaller ones from being smothered, <>ld Maud, the elephant. entertained a constantly griming circle of wide-eyed youngsters and the pa-rots and cockatoos were taught enough new words, to double their already extensive vocabulary. The I abor day exercises began yes terday with a ■ special sermon at the Har is Street Presnyterian church, de livered by Rev. Jere A. Moore. A host of union men gathered at the city ball Just before the service and their march in th® church was a Labor day parade w ithout the float® and bands. The line was headed b» President S. R Marks., <>f the State Federation. and Carl Kar -t"n. president of the Atlanta body. n Moore took for lite theme of his sermon "One Day’s Rest in Seven.” and discus'-ed the principles for which union labor is working. "More than 3.000.00tf people in the United States are denied a day’s rest once a week," he said. "The' are enslaved by employers seized b< a passion so greed and gain. Pleads for One Day of Rest in Week. • ■ln Atlanta today more than a thou sand str-et car conductors and motor men must work seven days in a week. About 300 policemen are required to be on duty seven days in a week. Hun dreds of clerks have no Sunday rest, being required to work in drug stores, tobacco stores, candy stores, and at soda fountains, all of which are open on Sunday in direct violation of the laws of the state of Georgia, except the drug stores selling what is necessary to be sold on the Sabbath. The city grants her firemen one day out of six. and that is right; but why not give the policeman one day ir: seven? "Is not the Geo'gia Railway and Electric Company prosperous enough, and considerate enough, to give its em ployees the privilege of resting one day in seven? "Should not the railroads heed the law of the state and stop all unneces sary moving of freight trains.''' Final plans for the Grant park cele oation were made at a rfieeting of ommittees yesterday afternoon at the Labor temple. W. C Puckett, Carl Karston, R- L.

Chief Lanford To Cupid’s Aid. Cupid got another lift when Chief Lanford, who had been a disinterested ■ sort of spectator, proposed that his pa-tor marry the pair at once. Accord- ~ ingly, the party jumped into an auto mobile and were whisked to the Woodward Avenue Baptist church, 1 where the pastor. Dr. H. P. Fitch, mar ried them at the close of the morning services.

World’s Greatest Long Distance Runner Held Prisoner at Ellis Isle Officials Trying to Determine Whether Athlete is a “De sirable Immigrant.” NEW YORK. Sept. 2.—Hans Koleh mainen, of Finland, the greatest long distance runner in the world, who wrested more than one victory from Americans in the international Olympic games at Stockholm in July, is being held today at the floorway of the Unit ed States until the authorities can de termine to their own satisfaction whether tlie great athlete is a "de sirable immigrant." Kolehmainen. who Arrived here yes terday from Glasgow upon the Anchor liner California, was detained at Ellis Island facing possible deportation. The athlete was accompanied by his brother. William. They came here not as athletes, but as workmen bent upon making the land of the Stars and Stripes their future home. The twain came as third-class passengers and were dressed in typical immigrant fash ion with loose fitting clothing, ungain ly shoes, tweed caps an<j red bandanna handkerchiefs knotted about their necks. Hans speaks no English and was the most amazed man on the North American continent today be cause his entrance into the land of promise had been barred. His bi other. William, tried to explain to him that the authorities must surely be making a. mistake, but the wonder in Hans' big ox-llke eyes only deepened. Wil liam speaks a few words of English.

Analysing the fcrogrewtve platform of Colonel Roosevelt, Ae gov. ernor eaidt There is a very eirtgnfar feature about the ptatform of the new party. It has two aides and ten .tones. It epeaks warm sympathy with practical ly every project of soclaJ hetterment to whldh men and women of broad sympathies are now turning with gen erous purpose and on that aide 1t is refreshing to read. It may be intrr proted tn the light of some Interesting < things Mr. Roosevatt has recently said. 1 “Mr. Roosevelt declares hfs devoted adherence to the principle of protec- ’ tion. Only those dtitiss which are manifestly t oo high, even to serve the Interests of those who are directly pro. tected, ought. In his view, to ho low ered. He <leclarea-that ha is not trou bled by the fact that a very large amount of money 1s taken out of the pocket of the general taxpayer anad put Into the pocket of paurtlcular classes of protected manufacturers, but that his concern U that so little of thia money gets into the pockets of the employees. I have searched his program thorough ly for an Indication of what he expects to do 1n order to see to It that a larger proportion of this 'prltte* money gets Into the pay envelopes aantf T have fountf only one suggestion. About the Minimum I > Wage Proposition. ’ f '■There Is a plank In the platform! which epeaks of estabMwhlng a nrfnj-• mum wage for women and I I suppose that we may assume that the principle 1» not tn the long run j meant to be confined In Its appflSkas.j tion to women only. Perhaps wt eraj justified in awrumtog that the third! party looks forward to the general es») tabHshment by law of a minimum wage. •Tt Is very likely. I take for-granted/ that If a minimum wage were estab lished by law the great majority of employers would take occasion to bring their wage scales as nearly as might bo I down to the level of that minimum, and ft would be very awkward for the workingman to resist that process suo cesefully, because It would be danger ous to strike against the authority of the Federal government. "Moreover, most of bls employers— at any rate, practically all of the most powerful of hfs employers—would be wards and proteges of that very gov ernment which Is the master of us ail, for no part of this program can be dis cussed intelligently without tremen berlng that monopoly, as handled by it, is not to be prevented, but accepted. It Is to be accepted and regulated. All attempt to resist it is to be given up. It is to be accepted as inevitable. The government is to set up a commission whose duty it will be not to check or defeat it, but merely to regulate it. under rules which it is in itself to frame and develop, that the chief employers will have this tremendous authority behind them; what they do they will have the license of the Federal govern ment to do, including the right to pay the wages approved by the government. Attitude of Industries Toward Organized Labor. "And it is worth the while of the wmking men of the eountrj to recall what the attitude toward organized labor has been of those masters of con solidated industries, whom the Federal government is to take under its patron age as well as under its control. They have always been the stout opponents of organized labor and they have tried to undermine it in a great tnanj ways. Some of the ways they have adopted have worn the guise of philanthropy and good will, and have no doubt been used, for all 1 know, in perfect good faith. Some of them have set up sys tems of profit-sharing, of compensa tion tor injuries, bonuses and even peu-
