HE dawn of Labor's National Holiday will be wel- comed by the toiling masses of our vast Dominion. Labor Day marks a new epoch in the history of the industrial classes, for, till the end of time, once each year they will rest from toil and in countless thousands brate the progress of their industrial emancipation. All broad-minded men will concede that it was fit and that Labor should have one day each year proclaimed from all restraint, and assemble to carry on the work iijfht by the poor Carpenter, " Do unto others even as you Id they should do unto you." jThat Parliament has made Labor Day a national holiday I tfurdy recognition of those noble beings who in the past, vituperation and calumny, suffered persecution for ing the rights and liberties of men, and who claimed die Trades Union was destined to develop the highest 6f muhood in the march of civilization, and as feudalism barbarism, so education and enlightenment would slowly but successfully to bring about the freedom of and action which asserts the equality of rights before ^^m^ Trades unionism is not a visionary theory, to bespoken of contemptuously as an " ism." It is a fact, founded on principles of justice, law and truth. It is cosmopolite in tenet rather than dogmatic, and regards the interests of mankind, rather than of its own class or kind. It is open to the world, regardless of sex, color, nationality or political affiliation. In its organization it is as lawful and holy as the church. It takes no private road ; it seeks to guard the interests of the weak and helpless. It is not a secret oath-bound cabal, its councils being private only in the sense which is proper in conducting the affairs of a firm or corporation. The trades union typifies in the fullest and broadest sense the brotherhood of man. Early in the seventies thinking men were seriously stndy- ing the necessity of a movement for the betterment of thi^r condition. This culminated in an agitation known as the " Nine-Hour Movement." Hamilton, being a manufacturing centre, played an important role and naturally supplied its quota of enthusiastic supporters. Many of these men will be honorably remembered for their self-sacrifice and derojion to the cause of labor and social reform. To them must be at- tributed, to a great extent, the success of the present Trades and Labor Council. In 1883, under the auspices of District Council, No. f^*, K. of L, the old Central Labor Union was formed. Thoogh crude in many particulars, it was instrumental in fc c ili ta t tog municipal and l4;islative reforms. From time to tima^ iMi||^ a crediuble effort to secure direct labor repiesenlaliOii» in the Ontario LegisUture and Dominion PafUatfMHI. 4 ItaMltoa ijAor Day I, Sept. 6, 1897 ht;> 1888 the Centnl Labor Union had practically ceased to exist, and tht praient Trades and Labor Council was formed, with WflUam Derbjr, president ; William McAndrew, vice-president, •ad D. R. Gibson, secretary. At the present time the Coun- cil is composed of representatives from nearly all the labor or- ^aniiations of the city, and was at no time in its history better equipped for carrying out its useful purpose. That there may be no cause for misunderstanding on the part of anyone as to the ground upon which Hamilton Trades and Labor Council has ever stood, and upon which it still stands, and so that the principles governing its work and mis- sion may be kept prominently before the public eye as oppor- tunity offers, both in justice to organized labor in Hamilton and as a medium of propaganda, the " Preamble " to and ** Declaration of Principles " in the Constitution of that body is reproduced here, and are as follows : PRBAMBLB. In order to better protect the workers, artizans and laborers in the struggle how going on in the civilized world between the oppressor and the oppressed, between the capitalist and the laborer, which grows in intensity from year to year, and will worlt disastrous results to the toilers if they are not com- bing fw mutual protection and benefit ; It therefore behooves the representatives of the Trades and Labor Unions of this city in Council assembled to adopt Mch principles among the mechanics and laborers as will per- manoitly unite them to secure the recognition of the rights to wiydi tney are justly entitled. W« tberdbre dedare qjunelves in fitvor of the formation of « fOitxtH body embiacing every Trade and Labor Organiza- eaia! tion ill the city organized under the trades union iftuitii^ be known as the Trades and Labor Council jf Hamnton* work should be to bring all trades together in clowr ofdty the better protection of our interests as workmen and §(K wider extension of the principles of trade unionism, to that organized bodies of labor may make common cause, and none may suffer for want of that practical and pecuniary-«i>'> sistance which isolated and detached, we cannot secure, which united and consolidated, we are the more likely to ohhj tain. It is the most natural and assimilative form of bringii the trade and labor unions together, at the same time pi ing the industrial autonomy and distinctive character of trade and labor union, and without doing violence to their spective constitutions or traditions, blends them all in one luu^ monious whole — a federation of labor. With such a body we should look to the organization of the unorganized working people in our city. Isolated labor conflict with consolidated capital, in many cases has driven to the wall, and defeated for a time, until thoroughte^ and permanently organized. A systematic propaganda can be^'i inaugurated that would strengthen and enliven ul the unioi^!*' by the distribution of trade union literature and creating S^l public demand for union goods and union labels, a rcducwMl^ of the hours of labor so that the toilers may participate in tlMI^ >C benefits of labor-saving machinery. To rescue our trades and other callings from the condii into which they have fallen ; to raise ourselves to that potitii in society to which we, as workmen, are justly entitled; ^ . place ourselves on a foundation sufficiently strong to ptoltcS'^^^ us firom further encroachments ; and to elevate the nmntf^ < # social and intellectual condition of the workmen, is a wgrtctii,. ..' v Pp< CQittI A oigai lollw 1. |j''wed( 'niakii sof pn ^'refon rllabor »ther B a.

We believe Ittp^ 01 action can be best accomplished by an organization [eomppaed of delegates elected by the various Trades and I I^bor organizations ; therefore, JUiohtult That we, representatives of the various Trades and I tAbor organizations in Hamilton, in order to form a central ' oivanization for the benefit of all laboring men, do adopt the ilofiowing DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES: 1. While opposed to entering any political party as a body, I'we declare it to be our duty to use our influence with the law- jlqiaking powers to secure the following objects : The adoption |C)f proper laws regulating the hours constituting a day's work ; , 'irms in prison labor so as to prevent the pr^uct of convict ibor coming into competition with honest industry ; and such ther laws as may be beneficial. a. We declare it the duty of every workingman to use his itmoet endeavors to secure the amelioration of the condition f^ the laboring classes generally, and to accomplish this we Jt^dieve that a central organization should exist, whereby all ^Immches of labor may form allies to any particular one that !Wf be oppressed. 3. We hereby pledge ourselves to assist each other in secur- ; lur wages by honorable means, and we shall mthdmyr and ! our influence to have others withdraw all patrc; av^e from nn&ir employer, let his calling be what it may. - .44; We dedare that all existing beneficial labor laws should ri^ly enforced, and we pledge ourselves to take such aa will secure their enforcement. |; ;Wc are in favor of arbitration whenever differences exist '~ , enployerB and employed. 6. We favor productive and distributive C0K>|Miatkiii ind the self-employment of labor, as only complete iadupciideiMBe can be obtained when the laborer is no longer depmdent 00 other individuals for the right to work ; and espMHalif do we recommend that whenever trades strike for the aocomplidK ment of any just purpose, if the funds of the organisation win allow it, the resistance, instead of being passive, shotdd be- come active and aggressive, by using the funds productively instead of unproductively. 7. That we favor day labor in preference to contracts on all works of a public character. ' 8. We favor the ownership and operation by municipalities or by the provincial and national governments of all natural monopolies, such as electric light works, street railways, tiie postal, telephone and telegraph systems, steam and idectoic railways, etc. OFFICERS or TRADES AND LABOR COUNCIL: Hugh Robinson Jas.

ItooaHT The Union I^bel and its great possible influence as a factor in the pending solution of social problems is a new proposition only to that portion of the community not connected with workingmen's trade organizations. For seventeen years the union printer, hatter, iron molder, shoemaker and building trade workmen have been familiar with the blue label placed upon cigars by the union cigar makers, as a toUen of clean ■hop surroundings and good wages. During twelve years these organised workers have found hidden in their hats the frater- nal message to them from the fair factory of their brother batter. Six years of agitation by the Typographical Union has secured recognition from other craftsmen of the one safe chan- nel through which their money may flow back to the pockets of well paid printers. The organised workers know the value oi this means of mutual assistance, and they know that its logical development ' will commend it to a large and growing class of consumers outside of labor unions who are now taking a friendly interest in the subject. They therefore aim to enlist and hold the co- operation of all classes in extending this improved line of social reform work, and they appeal to the general public for support on these grounds : That, while primarily the extension of the label makes the union strong, it is this very strength that begets the friendly COI^Knce between employer and employed, which averts the ititttt and prieserves the peace. The history of our stronger nnfaMW proves this. '■^J^a^mt labal is the boycott's substitute. It puts good will ^^■■' -..'■■ in place of savagery. Instead of tearing down the bad man's trade, it builds the good one's up. The fair employer, asked about his help, is proud to say : " My men and I are on good terms. See the label on our work." That a consolidation of union label interests, besides giving added power to each affiliating union, has the approval of public opinion because all is harmony there — the label league has no disputes ; no quarrels between organizations under this banner ; no conflicting grievances to waste the time and patience of the delegates ; no sympathetic strikes to threaten civic order. That the label condemns tenement and sweatshop productics^ for the benefit of the worker and the sanitary world. / That the label never lempts "Christian civilisation '7 to assist the factory tyrant in the soulless system which is crush- ing out the young life blood of our race. It would keep the child at school, run the mill with adult labor and enshrini workman's home. That the label largely solves the convict labor pi when the state adopts this emblem ss the mark by wh people may readily distinguish public work done un conditions.
