THE WEATHER Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia: Generally fair today and tomorrow. VOL. XL NO. 25. LABOR HOSTS BANISH FOR DAYCARE AND TOIL Thousands Desert City for Cool Grant Park and Splendid Festival Program. MUSIC. DANCING, SPORTS TO ENTERTAIN BIG CROWD Prominent Union Leaders Will Address Workers Basket Dinner a Feature. Factory fires are banked today. The tall stacks are smokeless since Satur day night. Shop doors are e.osed and (otton mill spindles have ceased their whirring for a da'. The men and wom en_am] the child workers, too—are celebrating the one day in the year they call their own. Wisely, the Labor day committee abandoned the parade this yea - . On mnnj September Mondays the workers nave arisen early, donned holiday uni forms and marched in the hot sun be hind brass bands, while wives and chil dren have sweitered on the sidewalks waiting for the parade to pass. Rut this year the unions, decided on a “safe and sane" celebration at Gram nark, where the atmosphere is several degrees cooler and a great deal fresher than in Whitehall street. The working folk ate there by thousands today, fill ing the pavilion, dotting tiie wooded hillsides with splashes of gay color, keeping the popcorn men busy. They crowded the trolley 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, ail union musicians, of . nurse, began their program early in the day. The big concrete pavilion was given over tn dancing. Farther down the pari', .another band played every thing from grand opera to ragtime, with a big audience sitting on the grassy hillside. The zoo folk held a regular reception from 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. Old Maud, the elephant, entertained a constantly growing circle of wide-eyed youngsters and the parrots and cockatoos were taught enough new words to double their already extensive vocabulary. The Labor day exercises began yes terday with a special sermon at the Har is Street Presbyterian church, de livercd by Rev. Jere A. Moore. A host of union men gathered at the city hall .just before the service and their march to the church was a Labor day parade without the floats and bands. The line was headed by President S. R. Marks, of the State Federation, and Carl Kar sten. president of the Atlanta body. Dr. Moore took tor the theme of his sermon “One Day’s Rest in Seven," and discussed the principles for which union labor is working. "More than 3.000.00 C people in the United States are denied a day’s rest once a week,’’ he said. “They are enslaved by employers seized by a passion for greed and gain. Pleads for One Day of Rest in Week. "In Atlanta today more than a thou sand street 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, looacco 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 in seven ? “Is not the Georgia 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 bration were made at a meeting of committees yesterday afternoon at the Labor temple. W. C. Puckett, Carl Karston, R. L. Corley and Dennis Lind say made up the committee on program and amusement. L. P. Marquardt. Je rome Jones, William VanHouten, W. C. Puckett and J. M. Brldwell formed the music committee, and reported that ihree bands and two orchestras had been engaged. N. H. Kirkpatrick. L. Continued on Page Two.
