FLOATS AND INTERESTING FEATURES PRESENTED BY THE \ :•;.' VARIOUS L UNjbNS THAT PARTICIPATED IN LABOR DAY PARADE ; A >ND .SCEJJE ON VAN.' NESS AVENUE '• DURING COUNTERMARCH. THIRTY thousand workingmen, representing t nearly every trade and nearly every variety of manual industry, marched yesterday in the Labor day parade. Never before in the history of this State, or of any State west of Illinois, has there been given a more magnificent, illustration of numerical strength and the -sturdy -manhood of those enlisted in the cause of unionism. -.When they were all arranged; in their M:ne , of march, which .-extended from the water front out Market street and Van Ness'ave nue to Bush street and then' doubted hack as far as Kearny street, the -matchers formed a mighty army whose ments were those of peace. .... . i '." ' : - k . Though replete with pleasing novelties, the parade was devoid. of gaudy display, but this did not detract from its Ira prcssivencss. One of the most pleasing features of the celebration was the evi dence of good feeling which was dis played between the- employer and the em ploye. Firms that were engaged in a bitter war against the unions last Labor Cay joined hands with them in the cele bration yesterday. Several of the .Iron foundries whose doors were closed last year by the machinists' and ¦ molders' strike had floats in the parade.. The showing of the men may well be' con sidered an illustration of the prosperity which at present exists , In. the .'local trade circles. Th'e men, as a -rule, were well dressed and » had the appearance of sober industry. ' • : SPECTATOBS CHEEB MARCHERS. All along the line of march the side walks were crowded with people, who heartily cheered the workingmen. Al though the day was unusually hot, the people kept their places until the last division had passed. They stood for al most three hours. Those , who ' marched In the parade enjoyed the heat even less than their friends on the sidewalk. Althougrh the parade was not a spec tacle of beauty, it had a number of 'floats which were constructed to represent the ¦workmanship of the men who built them. The float which attracted' the most .at tention and won, the most applause was that of the Boiler Makers and Iron Ship builders. It was a miniature representa tion of the battleship Oregon and bore the Inscription, "We are the men who built the Oregon." On the float were a number of • little girls wearing pretty white dresses. A bluejacket stood guard at the rear of the vessel. The Building Trades Council, . (or .the first time in the history of the labor move ment in this city, joined in the celebra tion with the Labor Council and the City Front Federation. The, builders turned out almost their full strength, 7000 men. They made an exceptionally fine showing. They had a float that' was very original, as well as artistically prepared- It rep resented the working: card of the Coun cH. which every, member of . the .trades unions Is required to carry.
