Live Committee
Preparing for
Big Celebration
_ ! o
i
The arrangement committee for La- ;
bor day festivities of the Alaska La- |
bor Union are busily engaged in dec- \
orating the big Union hall for the ;
dance to be given on Monday night. I
The committee announces that the *
regular Saturday night dance at the jj
hall will not be pulled off this week ;
for the reason that the union is bend- j jj
ing all its energies to the one point .
“The Labor Day Celebration.” A j
large number of the merchants have ■
already announced their intention of ;
having floats in the big parade, but .
the final program for the parade will
not be announced until the Saturday
issue of this paper.
The Chamber of Commerce will hold
a meeting today for the purpose of
arranging for a float to represent the
agricultural and mineral industries of
the Matanuska valley, the Willow
creek country and the whole country
generally. The members of this live
body readily realize the excellent op
portunity of advertising Anchorage ■
and vicinity.
“The Tioneers of Alaska,” the trail-j
blazers of the territory, have a com
mittee of ten members arranging for
their participation, and in all proba
bilities they will be given the right-of
way over fraternal organizations, as I
their position clearly entitles them.:
The union boys at this time call atten-1
tion to the fact that their organiza- j
tion provides that the Alaska Labor!
Union hall shall be the home of the !
Alaska Pioneers and the latter body!
is already making arrangements for a ;
local in this city. From the canvass j
made it is believed that there are in j
Anchorage and vicinity at this time j
200 members of the Pioneers and per-1
sons entitled to membership. The j
Loyal Order of Moose has already:
served notice on the committee that i
its Anchorage lodge will be in the |
parade.
Let everybody in Anchorage devote
every minute of their spare time from
now until Monday in making Labor
day the big day for Anchorage.
