The custom of setting apart one day each year in the interest
of the toilers well deserves the cooperation and the sanction of the
State to the end that the day may attain to the true dignity the vastness
of the element of life it has been instituted to represent, demands.
Therefore, as the chief executive of the State of NMichigan, I do pro-
claim as Labor Day,
flimthau, the fifth mf Šeptember, 1914,
and call upon the people to further its observance. The world is
absolutely and entirely dependent upon its workers, for without the
producer civilization would end. His welfare ought to be studiously
advanced and Labor Day in causing a cessation of work wherever it is
possible without harm serves as an object lesson of impressive value.
The nation which protects its working people and conserves their
interests has nothing to fear. Its foundations are proof against decay.
The coming holiday should be one in fact as well as in name and its


observance wholehearted. The State departments will be closed and
wherever it is possible without detriment to the service State institu-
tions will conform to the spirit of this declaration.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal
of the State of Michigan, at the Cap-
itol, in Lansing, this Thirty-first day of
August, in the year of our Lord, One
Thousand Nine Hundred and Four, and
of the Independence of the United
