Boss’ Uniformed Thugs on Labor Day and on the Day After

From the Spokane Industrial Worker of September 10, 1910:

Police AFL, Labor Day, Day After, IW p1, Sept 10, 1910

For years past it has been the habit of the A. F. of L. to allow the boss’ uniformed clubbers to lead the parade on Labor (?) Day. It is fitting that an institution of the boss, such as the A.
