St. Louis, Sept. 7.—The .police hav°
another murder mystery to solve, as
Bi result of the finding of the body of
a non-identified man on the river at
the foot of Lotue avenue.
A bullet hole between the eyes Is

The man was well dressed and had
the appearance of being prosperous.

for the purpose of robbery.
The shoes worn by the dead man
were marked “D. A. Pitts, Coirdele,

LABORERS WILL
BE BROUGHT HERE
Lumbermen Will Not
Wait on the Union
Men Again
NO CHANGE IN IHE SI ILA HON
A Number of Hands Will Go to
Work this morning and Others
Will be Brought to the City
as Soon as Possible.
The strike olf the longshoremen took
no new turn yesterday; none of those
who went out Saturday returned to
work, not because it was Labor day,
but for the reason that they have de
cided, at a meeting, not to return un
til an agreement has been made with
the lumbermen to pay them fifteen
cents per hour permanently. The mer
chants say that they have granted
the increase, that the men went to
w-olrk on Saturday and then quit and
they do not iuitend to make any con
ti act, nothbig of the kind having been
done before. The is the status of the
situation.
A large fleet of vessels is now in
port, and something will have to be
done. It is true that probably every
lumber company in the city will bo
able to get gangs to work this morn
ing but they will not have enough
labor to meet the demand.
The merchants do not intend to
wait longer on the union. They ex
pect to at once get lo borers to the
city from some source and will keep
them here permanently.
“With proper police protection,”
said a leading lumberman yesterday,
“we can get and keep as many lab
orers as we need along the bay. Last
week the strikers endeavored in ev
ery way to frighten them out of the
city, but they did not succeed. Now
that tlier union has atgaini declared u
strike, for no cause whatever, I think
the best plain is to import men. We
can get them very easy. All of tho
scabs who were at work last week
were discharged Saturday after the
union returned to work, but I think
a (majority of them are still in the
oily and we will have them at work
tomorrow ”
It was rumored yesterday that the
gangs employed by the Southern Pino
company, N. Emanuel & Cos., and one
or two toithers, who have been pay
ing 15, would return to work this
morning but the leaders of the union
would not verify the report when seen
by a representative of the News. Why
the gangs employed by these compan
ies struck is not known Labor un
ion leaders say that they understood
that the firms had entered an agree
ment to reduce the pay after Sept.

les Everywhere.
Washington, Sept. 7.—Labor day,
the working mans’ holiday, set apart
in nearly every state of the union a
holiday and the most universally ob
served, although it may not be cele

The first celebration of labor day
took place in New York Sept. 5, 1882
so as labor day as an institution, may
be said to have been born there In
the above year. The Knights of La
bor were then aecretely working in
New York and many of tile local as
semblies were affiliated with the
Central Labor union. When the
first general assembly of flic Knights
of Labor began on September 5, 1902,
the Central Labor union was invited
to attend the parade from the stand
on Union square. That was the first
Labor day parade.
While the parade was passing
Robertl Price, of Lonaconing, Md.,

eral worthy foreman of the Knights
of Labor, and said:
“This is Labor day in earnest,
Uincle Dick.” The event, was after
ward alluded to as “Labar day pa
rade,” and subsequently the day be
came known as Labor day.
Far some time many or tiie states
chose different days as Labor day.
In California it was fixed on tiie first
Monday in October; in Ixmisana, No
vember 5; Wiscoins'nn left it optional
with the governor to fix and some
selected other dates.
Gradually the first Monday in Sep
tember has -become the recognized
Labor day, and is so fixed by the ex
ecutives of states where It is not
designated by law, as the laboring
mens legal holiday.
At Cleveland,

be among the few counties in the
state which will make uo showing at
