“Labor Benefits All the
People,” Says Wil-
liam Green in State-
ment .
By WILLIAM GREEN
Pres. American Federation of Labor
Labor Day!
Lest we forget. it is well to re-
call that this is the forty-fourth an-
niversary of the origin of Labor
Day. A small band of loyal. ear-
nest trade unionists. in their enthu-
siasm for the benefits gained by or-
ganization. paraded in the city of
New York onthe first Monday of
September. 1882. .
This was the beginning of Labor
Day. .
in 1884 the convention ‘of the
American Federation of Labor .call-
ed upon all wage earners irrespec—
tive of sex. calling for nationality. to.
observe Labor Day until “it should
be as uncommon for a man to worli
on Labor Day as on Independence
Day." ‘
There is no need to tell how suc-
cessful that appeal has been. None
will deny that that condition is here.
Spread Through Nation.
The idea of Labor Day spread
throughout the nation. Although a
few of the states have not made it a
, legal holiday it is observed in them
'just as loyaily as in the states Where
Labor Day laws have been enacted.
From a small handful of men
who met in Pittsburgh in 1881 and
formed what is now the American
Federation of Labor. it has grown
to enormous proportions. and its in-
fluence has revolutionized industry
for the benefit of both the wage
earners and employers. When it
was organized the eight-hour day
was simply a dream. for in those
times ten hours was universally
worked. while many were kept at
their tasks twelve. fourteen. sixteen
and more hours a day.
‘The opposition to the eight-hour
day was tremendous. In 1884 the
American Federation of Labor took
the preliminary steps for a universal
demand for eight hours. and in less
than two years 200.000 workers in
industry gained a. shorter workday.
By 1892 the eight-hour movement
had spread throughout the nation.
At the present time those who work
more than eight hours are the ex-
ception.
Organizers. who served without
compensation for years. aided in
placing the American trade union
movement on a firm basis.
' Exclusion of Chinese.
Legislation was sought and not a
year has passed but some remedial
laws have been enacted. The first
great vidtory was the exclusion oi
the Chinese. While the law was
enacted in 1882, it was many years
later before it was so changed that
the American people were fully pro-
tected from that sort of immigra-
tion.
‘ Then came the federal eight-hour
which
freed the last slaves in the United
States. .
Many people do not lmow that the
trade union mavement was the ear-
liest advocate of compulsory educa.
tion. At the same time it demanded
that children should not be permit.
ted to work for wages but should be
sent to school and given every op-
portunity for recreation. The years
have elapsed since then but the
struggle to educate the masses and
to bring freedom from gainful occu-
pations to the children has actively
continued. While two laws enacted
by Congress prohibited children at a
tender age from working at gainful
Occupations they were declared un-
constitutional.
Now we have a proposed amend-
ment to "the constitution which if
adapted will confer upon Congress
authority to pass st‘atutory legisla-
lion making the' child life free. Bit-
ter and malignant opposition is be-
ing made to this worthy cause. tint
the American Federation of Labor
will continue the fight. until it has
made it possible for Congress to pro-
tect the nation‘s children from in-

Armed with blue prints of the ill-

to work with saws and axes.
The salvaged parts will be sent
