PAGE 2 LABOR DAY TO BE CELEBRATED QUIETLY HERE McNutt Proclaims Holiday, but Few Activities Are Arranged. According to authorities, labor in Indiana is planning no official ac tive observance Monday of Labor Day, when factories stores and vir tually all business houses will close in the traditional manner. Indianapolis workers were arrang ing quiet parties and picnics for the annual holiday. Gov. Paul V. McNutt yesterday issued the annual Labor Day proc lamation. He said: "As we approach the one day of all the year when we pause to pay just homage to those who earn their livelihood by the sweat of their brows, it is with a feeling of thanks giving that labor can well celebrate this event. "The past year has seen great strides everywhere in bringing about the passing of the tragedy of un employment. Our greatest blessing —work—is again coming into its own and with grateful hearts we ex press appreciation of the combin’d efforts of industry and of labor it self that are making true labor again possible for our nations multitudes. “By statute and past custom, the first Monday in September is desig nated as Labor Day. “Now therefore, I, Paul V. Mc- Nutt, Governor of the State of In diana, proclaim Sept. 2. 1935, as Labor Day and urge that fitting tribute be paid in every public en deavor to those whose lives are spent in honest toil. “May suffering and privation, due to unemployment, be alleviated to the common good, and each and every one of us join together in the true spirit of the age in which we j live, in the creation of decent work for decent wages for the man who works.” OFFICER HURT IN SPILL Police Motorcycle Crashes Into Auto; Sergeant Injured Slightly.
