The honor of leading the van of the
great .parade was given to the Allied
Printing Trades. To the men employed
in these trades is chiefly due the credit
of- getting ' out the great metropolitan
newspapers. .The printers turned, out
fully "2000 strong. They had a number of
bands j and each of the separate unions
had a handsome banner bearing Its name
.and ',the date- of its organization. The
Typographical Union marched at the head
of - Vie printers. It had a float on which
Vas the inscriptions "Our right of trial
by. jury was established by the American
Revolution"-- and '• "Trade unions i are
against government by Injunction." The

DETAILS WELL ABBANGED.
Probably - the. most interesting portion
of the parade ;was that vsrhlch y/as fur
nished by the. Sailors' Union of' the Pa
cific. The men who sail the seas ¦ pre-
Verited a' splendid appearance.* .They were
frequently greeted with - cheers, . They
wore natty sailor uniforms and marched
with the precision of bluejackets. : Their
float, which repreisented . a , full-rigged
bark, formed one of the most picturesque
.features of the parade. The Sailors' was
the last union in . the parade.-
The management of the immense pro
cession was ¦ excellent- Although. ,the
members of the unions have not been
taught to drill or to execute any military
tactics they swung themselves Into line
without the least delay. - Early ; in the
morning * the streets were alive with
marching men. : The unions , as
they went to the starting- place at Mis
sion and Market streets were greeted with
cheers. -.-' , ,
Grand Marshal. Casey and his staff >had
every detail so well arranged that. there
was. not the least confusion -in',, forming
the parade .nor the least delay. in start
ing^ Casey's chief aids -were P H. • Mc-
Carthy, of- the Building "Trades Council;-
John Cook, Labor Council; AT- M. Tiede-

PBDJTEBS LEAD PARADE.
After the grand marshal and: his -staff
came the officials of the day, riding, in
carriages. .-In the first carriage were Revj
Father Peter C... Yorke, orator ,of the dayr
Mayor . Schmitz, . <?i '.', \. the
day. . and . Walter , Goff, -j_ presidjent * I'ot
'. Mayor' Schmitz , was . greeted with pro
longed cheers as he thanked the people
for the honor • conferred 'upon him. : He
.then .introduced/Andrew Furuseth of the
Sailors' Union. Furuseth's appearance
was* the signal for tumultuous and pro
longed applause and for several minutes
'he. toul'd not, make his voiced heard. He
.waved his hands in protest, but the sons
of toll, and their friends were not to be
quieted ~ahd "it Was only when "three
cheers arid a tiger for Furu.ieth" had
been >- called = for and given that he had
an opportunity to commence his address.
His suBJect "was "Injunctions." He said
in • part : • ',
pi "The injunction is like a sore In the
side ; of. labor. It was first heard of 2300
years ago. It. Is the result of a strbgsle
between 1 the patricians and : plebes - of

like California, recognized organized labor
and created a 1 holiday known as Labor

*VJEWS OF. 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. The repre-
