TACOMA, WASH., THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1941,
(Editorial)
Fifty-nine years ago the day we each vear dedicate to
recognition of the achievements of Labor first was observed
in the United States.
| Five vears later the first state made it a legal hohday.
f Since then, throughout the Union and in the Dominion
to the north, the first Monday of each September has come
to be one of the greatest and mosl significant of our
. holidays.
: This year Labor day, next Monday, cannot but bear to
i all Americans a meaning even more pointed and pertinent
| than usual.
For it isx to labor that America, with good reason, is
looking for the sinews of desperately needed national
defense,
That is why The Tacoma Times today is particularly
pleased to present a National Defense Edition “dedicated
to Labor.”
Many publications have offered national defense edi
tions in recent weeks. Most of them have been worthwhile,
But all of them have dealt, for the most part, with
defense plants, owners, corporations and their executives,
The fellow out on the industrial firing-line has been some
' what neglected.
This edition has been “slanted” differently. lis theme
s “Defenders at Work.”
And it is concerned, mainly, with that average worker,
' skilled and unskilled, who, with hands and mentality,
| training and experience, actually does the job, as conceived
. and planned,
! Labor itself, as will be seen when the advertising pages
are scanned, has given support to this edition.
. But we are particularly happy to report, as the edition's
~ pages will prove, that Tacoma employers, tov, have joined

That is a faet which bespeaks the quality of the con

So, through this edition of The Tacoma Times, our
