There shall rise from thia confused sound of voices
A firmer faith than that our fathers knew,
A deep "religion which alone rejoices '
In worship of the Infinitely. True,
Not built on rite or portent, but a finer "
And purer reverence for a Lord diviner.
There shall come from out of the noise of strife and
groaning .
A broader and juster brotherhood,
A deep equality of aim, postponing
All selfish seeking to the general good.
There shall come a time when each shall to another
Be as Christ would have him brother unto brother.
There shall come a time when knowledge wide extended,
Seeks each man's pleasure in the general health,
And all shall hold irrevocably blended
The individual and the commonwealth)
When man and woman in an equal union
Shall merge, and marriage be a true communion.
There shall come a time when brotherhood shows stronger
Than the narrow bounds which now distract the world;
When the cannons roar and trumpets blare no longer,
And the ironclad rusts, and battle flags are furled;
When the bars of creed and speech and race, which sever,
ShIl be fused in one humanity forever.
Lewis Morris.
Labor Organization in
America Can Be Traced
to Movement in 1803
Organizations among American la
borers begun In 1803, when the ship
carpenters and ca liters of New York
and Boston organized. The tailors
of New York formed a union the same
Jear, and 1803 also witnessed the first
Industrial strike in America, whet) the
New York sailors refused to work.
Before that, however, there had been
labor disturbances among the bakers
of New York and the boot and shoe
makers of Philadelphia. It was dur
ing the sailors' strike of 1803, the
Massachusetts shipbuilders' strike of
1817, and the Albany printers' strike
of 1 81!0, that the terms "rat," and
"scab" were first used. From local
unions, the organization of labor pro
gressed until in ISuO the first tnter
iiational labor uniou, that of the print
ers, was launched.
The first "martyrs to trade union
Ism" were thrown into jail at Tol
puddle, Iorsetshire, lOng., 77 years
ago. They were James and George
Lovelace, Thomas Stanfield, James
Iiryne. The first three men were
"Wesleyan preachers, who worked as
farm laborers on week days and,,
preached the gospel on Sundays.
Their Imprisonment was due"to their
attempt to form a union of farm la
borers to protest against a proposed
reduction in wages from seven shill
ings to six shillings less than $1.50"
n weelc. The landlords were all-powerful
in Dorsetshire, and the "con
spirators" were arrested, stripped,
shorn of their hair and cast Into jail
jind eventually sentenced to seven
years' inprisonment.
The first demand of labor unions
for an eight-hour day was made at
a convention held in Baltimore, Au
gust 21, 18S0. This congress also
marked the first attempt to organize a
national federation of the various
trade unions, national and Interna
tional, then existing in the United
Suites and Canada. One hundred del
egates were present, representing
about CO organizations. The demand
for the eight-hour day was but an In
cident In the sessions of the congress,
but at succeeding gatherings It as
t.mmeil great Importance and became
tliii leading plank of organized la
bor's platform. The second convention
was hdd In Chicago In 1807. The Na
tional Labor union, after meetings In
Boston, Philadelphia and Columbus,
went out of existence In 1871, but ut
an International congress held at
Jlorhcstur In that year the movement
was revived under other names. Sev
eral otrcnlzatlons divided the allegi
ance of organized labor, hut In 1SS1
the Federation of Organized Trades
and lbor Unions of the United States
and Canada wns launched, and out
of this .has grown the powerful Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
To Each Man Has Been
Allotted Certain Work
to Be Required of Him
Columbus hogged his way from
door to door In a strange land, lead
ing his little son forlornly by the
hand. Thomas A. Edison was the
prey of bill collectors who dogged his
footsteps like hungry wolves.
There are countless other men
known and unknown to, history who
suffered nameless persecutions, even
suffering death Itself because they
could not be dissuaded from doing the
work that they believed It was theirs
to do.
Work wns their religion. It was the
ruling- passion of their lives, "And,
after all, work Is the great ndventure,"
as Frank Lane said not long ago In
one of his public speeches.
Work should be every man's re
ligion. God himself has snld tliat It
Is the truest way to pray. It Is only
the devil who loves to find our hands
Idle.
Now, It Is true also that It Is not
given to nil men to make magic fid
dles, to grasp beauteous ceramics
from the oven or to discover new
worlds. But, It Is also true that every
man can find jivork for his hands to
do. It may be very humble work, In
deed : It may be work that anyone can
do; but no matter what It Is, we can
make It great. We can make It holy,
even. We can consecrate our work
by the soul that we put Into It.
It seems to us that God's most gra
cious dispensation to' men Is that he
continuously creates a sufficient num
ber of them to do the common tasks.
If we were all of us bent on making
fiddles or ceramics, painting pictures
and weaving songs, there would be
no one left to hew the wood and
draw the water.
In other words, If we were all "art
ists," who would cook the meals and
wash the dishes?
There Is no dignity to equal the dig
nity of labor. Itemember that. And
remember, too, that there Is no labor
that lacks dignity, no matter bow
I simple or how common or how hum
ble Its tasks may he.
. LABOR'S HOLIDAY.
In 1884 the Knlflhtg of Labor
held a parade In New York on
the first Monday In September
and. a resolution adopted made
it thereafter Labor day. Colo
rado led in making it a state
holiday on March 15, 1887, and
now only two or three states
have not followed. In Penn
sylvania In 1893 the first Sa.tur
day was appointed, but or June
23, 1897, Governor Hastings
signed the bill falling in tine
with the "First Monday."
Labor's First Striving
for 'Place in the Sun'
Was Mainly Political
Early manifestations of the labor
feeling In the United States were po
litical. In 1829 a worklngmen's ticket
was placed In nomination In New
York. This political movement spread
Into Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
and contributed to' the formation of
the Loco Foco party which played an
Important part In the polities of that
period. Political organization hastened
organization for trade purposes and
in 1S33' the General Trades union of
the city of New York elected Its presi
dent to congress. In 1832 the New
England Association of Farmers, Me
chanics and Worklngmen was organ
ized In Boston. The three most Im
portant labor organizations which ap
peared before the Civil war were or
ganized In 1815: The New England
Worklngmen's association, the New
England Protective union and the In
dustrial Congress of the United
States. All three organizations waned
in the early '50s, and from that time
until the end of the Civil war many
trades unions of the narrower kind
were formed. During this period
many trade union leaders character
ized the trade union as exclusive and
warmly advocated the formation of
broader organizations which would
elevate the masses by other means
thnn the strike and the regulation of
apprenticeship. In 1800 their efforts
resulted In the formation of the Na
tional Labor union, which attempted
to found a Labor Keform, party and
died In 1S70 "of the disease known as
politics."
The work laid down by the Nntlonal
Labor union fell Into the hands of the
Knights of Labor, formed In Decem
ber, 1800, by leaders of a dissolved
local union of garment cutters In
Philadelphia. Until 1882 the name
and puryose of the order were kept
secret. In 18S0 It became Involved In
the Missouri Pacific strike. Its mem
bership then numbered 700,000. There
after, split by Internal dissensions,
and weakened by strikes, Its member
ship and Influence declined. In 1914
It had less than 100,000 members. The
American Federation of Labor orig
inated In an attempt to found a gen
eral organization of American work
lngmen distinct from the Knights of
Labor on a trade union basis. A pre
liminary convention was called by the
Knights of Industry and the Amalga
mated Labor union the latter com
posed largely of seceders from the
Knights of Labor und met In Terre
Haute, Ind., August 2, 1881. The first
o(llclul convention met at Pittsburgh,
Pa., In November, 1881. Tlie Ameri
can Federation of Labor has prac
tically taken the place of Its former
rival, the Knights of Labor, the organi
zation which was all-powerful -some
twenty-flv years ago.

WE AIIE more allured by lovely
accessories of dress than by
essential clothing, and these furbe
lows provide us a continuous, pleas
ing performance. .Something new
claims attention all the time, and spices
up our work-a-day world of dress. It
is the daintiness and freshness of
neckwear, or the richness of bro
cades In hats and bags or nosegays
of ribbon llowors, or flowers of oi
gandle or artificial fruits of yarn and
numberless accessories made of rib
bon that keep the mind oocupied and
the poekotbook busy just now.
Among the newest ornaments there
are chokers (collars) of ribbon with
full rosettes, to be worn close up
around the neck. They are made of
rather narrow ribbon a nd the
rosettes have, as a rule, several short
hanging cads. Just ahead of the au
tumn leaves are new blouses that
show neck finishing resembling that
perennial favorite, the frothy jabot,
but the surest indication for fall seems
to be the plaited upstanding ruff ot
ribbon drawn close to the throat with
a imrrotv ribbon tie.
Another item that we may be sure
of is the shopping bag of handsome
ribbon. There is a new line of these
ready for presentation to fall shop
pers, and some of them have hats to
match. Tops of the bags reveal new
designs, and there are many handsome
tassels used for finishing them. The
soft draped crowns popular In fall
bats lend themselves to the hat-and-bag'-to-nuftch
idea. A handsome set
appears in the illustration in which
a narrow brimmed shape of plain vel
vet has a crown of brocaded ribbon
draped so that It terminates in two
points at the side. Of course these
two points exist merely to support two
handsome tassels that dangle from
them and brush the shoulder. The
shopping bag to match is pictured
mounted on a metal ring with round
top which probably holds a mirror on
the reverse side. One may lay a
safe wager that It contains a small
ribbon covered box that carries cc-nv
pact face powder and a lip stick.

TIIIO nrst hats and the first suits
for fall liave made their entry.
They almost reconcile one to the pass
ing of summer and nicceed In making
fall welcome. Women tire remarking
of the suits, their straight but chic
lines, their trim fastenings up the
front, their high necks and with all
this their lack of severity. For, these
suits are embellished wfth embroider
ies, needlework, used "With much dis
criminating reticence. Handsome
composition buttons, sparingly used
where buttons are needed, match the
cloths In color. Coats are some
what longer, skirts are sufficiently
full for comfort and remain pin' ,
belts are narrow and sometimes
long, but often they lap across the
front and fasten with a button at
each side. Fur Is much In cyldence
In high collars and occasionally In
large patch pockets and In cuffs.
There Is no Indication anywhere that
women will favor very short skirts
hi fact good sense and good taste gov
ern the styles thus far presented, n
Is a matter for - rejoicing the first
things are nearly always the best,
and these new suits have caused
great enthusiasm among well informed
and well dressed women.
Two of the earliest models are pic.

has a plaited skirt and a jacket with
vest of brocaded ribbon. On the pock,
ets at the sides there ,!s a pretty ar
rangement of narrow braid, and this
also finishes the long sleeves. This
model Is made of serge. The most
Hked cloths are those on the order of
duvetyn, that Is, having a velvety sur
face, of which there are several vari
eties with names of their own. A
suit of this kind Is shown at the right
with wide collar of fur.
