In his proclamation setting apart September 4th as Labor Day, Gov ernor Ralston says: ' "It should not be overlooked on this day. that all degitimate interests of our country are dependent upon one center, and that no one of these can be seriously wronged without the other eventually having to suffer thereby. On this day a plea should be made for a quicker and a keener appreciation of the equities of life that we may not forget that in the absence of justice nothing which is worth while is secure. Civilization’s pillars of faith in the ultimate triumph or right over wrong and in a greater future cannot stand against the undermining processes of iujus tice.”
