" SECRETARY DAV CALLS ALL TOWORK Urges United Effort to Over- | come Obstacles to Resump- tion of Business. N A new sort of work, in which even the unemployed can take a hand—work “to improve the present situation”— was the message of Secretary James J. Davis of the Department of Labor, + in a Labor day statement today. “This nation has become the great- of all producing nations,” he sald. “It has become so great because it works—because it always has worked. “Just now we are in the depths of a depression. Everybody is interested in the way out. And we have made up our minds that the way to prosperity is to work. Just now work is more fmportant to us than anything else. Labor Day Calls to Work. “Labor day this year calls evel body to work. a day when work—a new kind of work —was more plentiful than it Is in the day of widespread unemployment, as now. “The work to be done is to improve the present situation. And anybody €an take a hand. “The business start ader must work to wheels of industry going bid farewell to war-time the and s anker must work to provide for the re-establishment of The skilled engineer must ut down costs. is that kind of work for man. woman and child in the ¢ We all must labor to build old spirit of confidence in our v used to be thought of B s labor's day.

That is why L day this year takes on this new holida. cation for everybody. for the good of the nation.” Despite the gloomy skies, Washing- ton today gave itself over to the holida; with government depart- ments and business houses closed, and school children as yet not in school. The earliest boats going down the river to Marshall Hall bore members of the Central Labor Union to the big barbecue and outing of the union to which practically every labor organi- in the National Capital con- tributed a large contingent. At the river resort, Newton A. James is in general charge of arrangements, including the barbecue, athletics, + speaking and other events. Two oxen will furnish the centerpiece for the “big spread.” Ball Game for Police Fund. This afternoon at 3:30 o'clock base ball teams of the Home Defense and police will meet in mortal combat at the American League Park. There is to be a band and Nick Altrock of the Nationals probably will be on hana to add his brand of fun to the occasion. Chesapeake Beach trains anticipated v 4big ness today from Washing- tonians who desired to take advan- tage of bathing and crabbing. At Union station outgoing trains bore large quotas of people, aithough the big rush of Saturday was not equaled. PLAN TO STORM CONGRESS Irish Societies’ Program Should Negotiations With England Fail. Preparations for a descent upon ‘Washington by the Irish of America during the conference on limitation of armaments in case the present peace negotiations with the British government fail were divulged at a meeting of the Padraic N. Pearse Council of the American Association for the recognition of the Irish Re- public, at Gonzaga Hall last night. Raymond Kirkpatrick of the execu- tive committee of the organization. in an address, stated that orders had been received from headquarters in Thicago advising the local organi- zation to prepare to take charge of representatives from all of the 2,700 v councils throughout the countr. “It will be the purpose of the tors to storm Congre at_ibat time and demand that America insist upon payment of the foreign debt and that Congress _oppose to its fullest the proposed Penrose bill. which proposes to permit substitution of other se- curities. d Mr. Kirkpatrick.
