The twentieth century has not produced more men of deep thought, than its predeces- sors. The numerous wars and immense ar- maments in each country prove that human sentiments have not become purer. The man- ner of governing the nations has not changed. #ince in the most progressive countries, in the republics, one finds the same customs In poli- tics as with the Romans 2000 years ago.

Thou- sands of men marched in a ple- turesque and emphatically distinctive par- ade through the city's streets. Thou- sands more of men, women and children enjoyed the big entertainments that were held at Idora Park and at Shell Mound Park. St. Anthony's parish of East Oak- | land held forth at the former resort for recreation and the united Building Trades councils of San Francisco and Alameda County, with their of affillated unions, celebrated day at Shell Mound. Business was at a stop for the day in Oakland. Every merchant doors and made it a holiday in fact as well as in name. All of the public build- ings, city, county and Federal, were scores the { locked and officlal seal was placed upon Labor day. The public schools closed and will not reopen until after Admission day. Sixty unions were represented in the long line of men and women that formed the procession this morning. In the line were more than 5000 representatives of every branch of Industrial and commer- clal activity in the county. Each union vied with its brothers to make an attrac- tive and large numerical showing. The result was a large and an impressive ex- hibition of the strength of united labor on the eastern shores of San Francisco Bay. Philip M. Walsh, Arthur Arlett and Judge Mortimer Smith, the judges of the parade, and J. B. Reboll, secretary of the general reception committee, occupied a carriage, following the grand marshal and his aids. MARCHING HOSTS. Grand Marshal J. B. Bowen, business agent for the Building Trades Council, had no reason to feel anything but a thrill of pleasurable emotion as he sat for two hours on his steed and watched the marching hosts pass before him in re- view. He had well organized his demon- stration and sent it through without halit or hitch. And it was variety of color and feature that made the display the very best that the labor organizations of the city have ever produced. There were varled touches of color, numerous floats of interesting and typical design, catchy uniforms and stirring music, Enthusiasm was a-plenty. There were cheers along the line, the bulk of the noise, however, being caused by the re- ception given two big foats laden with | pretty laundry workers clad in summery gowns of purest white. The only dis- cordant note of the day was the derisive yells and howls that came from a delega- ; tion of striking telephone linemen whose raucous cries of “‘Scab, scab,” spoiled at spots an otherwise perfect exhibition. The men of the mechanical trades made a particularly exccllent impression, Each unfon man wore a distinctive uni- form that identified him with his trade. In the building trades there was much of feature. The iron workers carried their hammers and the crash and din of anvil and the sparks from forges, with the clang of riveters at work, lent a practical side to the scene. The steel rolling mills men hauled a miniature steel bridge, a | tribute to their skill and to the industries closed his | 1 | | | | | | | | | daintily gowned of the cit coated and In fact, from the white- apped bakers at the head of | | | the line to the last of the longshoremen | in their serviceable working garments the display was one to attract more than passing attention MANY CARPENTERS IN LINE. In exact numbers there were in line 5128 men and women, Of these the Car- penters’ and Joiners' Unfon made the counting 428 men. Next in peint of num- bers were the painters and decorators, with 296, and third on the list came the teamsters with 176 men. The Bakers' Union, which had the right of line with its perambuiating bake oven and its busy molders of dough, captured the prize silver cup offered for the best appearing union. When Grand Marshal Bowen gave the order shortly after 10 o'clock to advance, his five divisions were formed along the thoroughfares crossing Broadway from Seventh strcet to the water front. With his escort, C. W. Petry and Willlam J. Baccus and Miss Lillle Sherman and Miss Lizzie Hartz, the grand wasg followed by a band and the Bakers' and Confectioners' Unicn headed the di- vision. The marching masters of the oven wore sults of white duck with dain- ty blue sashes. John Guild commanded the contingent. Yhree pretty little chil- dren. Alma Wollitz, Anna Burnecker and Ida Jensen, escorted the union's banner and the national ensign. The barbers, 200 strong, with a shop in operation as their float, marched under tharge of their president, J. P. Davis. Archie Giger had charge of the laundry workers’ section. Besides the men in line there were two large floats filled with young women. Retail Clerks’ Union No. 47, marshaled by J. F. Courtney, with D. Greenberg, W. Martin, M. McDonald, J. Reboli and 1. Hyde, was next in line. A garlanded wagon, canopied and decked with flowers and greens, half-hiding an array of meats, heralded the Butchers’ Union, each mem- ber wearing a spotless white working apron and cap. MINIATURE STAGE. The Stage Employes’ Union was repre- sented by a spectacular miniature stage- setting on a float. The pressmen and the typographical trades had their men in line, carrying the lodge banners. The Sign, Carriage and Decorative Painters, Local No. §78, made an attrac- tive display with an elaborately embel- lished charlot and throne, occupied by Miss Tillie Mardis and her pretty attend- ants, Misses Maude and Emma Howland. The Garment Workers’ Unlon occupied a bus. Marshal W. Thompson headed a de- tachment of the Tailors’ Union. The shoemakers, soda water bottlers, beer bottlers, bartenders, carmen and cooks and waiters closed the first divi- sion, which was in charge of Mgrshal Perry Conwell. Marshal George Fitzgerald commanded the second division, one of the best in line. His alds were E. Ayers of the Plumbers’ Union, M. A. Rowlands of the Bricklayers’ Union and F. L. Manning of the Plasterers’ Union. This was the building trades’ division. At the right of the line was the Oakland Bricklayers’ Union, the members wear- ing neat working uniforms of brown overalls, gray caps and light colored .largest showing numerically, thelr forces | | steel construction from the Judson works | John Martin | marshal | | shirts.

The local unions of the carpenters and joiners of America headed the division, followed by the boxmakers and then the gasworkers, who carried vari-colored gas balloons. A miniature gas works was used as a float. The Laborers’ Protective Union and the Newsboys' Union with a little queen, Juanita Defour, in a charfot, followed. The United Brotherhood of Railway Em- ployes was represented by a delegation from the West Oakland yards. LINE OF MARCH. The last division was marshaled by F. Higuera with J. Cunningham and F. Ryan as aids. The Brotherhood of Teamsters made a splendid showing, each member being neatly uniformed and carrying a whip as insignia of his occupation. In close order were the soda water, ice and mineral water drivers, with a unique ex- hibit of fruit, fish, flowers and “soft drinks” bottled and embedded in cakes of ice. The wagon workers displayed a massive anvil and the longshoremen, last of all, brought up the rear with a float bearing a full rigged ship, manned by a host of youthful tars. The men ‘wore light shirts, dark trousers and white caps. The long line marched through Broad- way to Seventh street, to Washington, to Fourteenth and to Clay to San Pablo avenue, to Eighteenth to Broadway, countermarching on Broadway from Seventh street north to Fourteenth, where Grand Marshal Bowen and his staff reviewed the marchers, after which they disbanded. —_——— BARBECUE AT THE SEA.
