VOLUME 5B. NUMBER 35 
SATURDAY, AUG. 31, 1907. 
Monday will be Labor day, a day 
set apart by the working men as their 
own, a day of rest for them. On this 
one day of the year throughout all the 
land the army of working men wil] 
march through the streets of the cities 
and towns, and the day will be ob- 
served as their holiday. On this day 
we realize, as we watch the marching 
hosts of labor, the strength of these 
united forces and it is brought to our 
mind that this day itself, together 
with many other advantages,— shorter 
hours, higher wages, etc., have been 
given to the working classes because 
of the fact that they have been able 
to demand them by reason of their 
strength, banded together in unions 
and confederations of labor all over 
the country. The union of the labor- 
ing classes has been a boon to the 
working men in many ways, but the 
immense power thus attained may be 
perverted and put to base uses, uses 
which instead of aiding labor, will 
degrade it and make the new order of 
things worse than the old. To this 
end let the laboring men consider 
long and well whom they will put into 
their offices of trust, men of ability, 
men of discretion and sound judg- 
ment, who will work for the best in- 
terests of ‘the workers under them, 
and not seek personal aggrandize- 
ment, notoriety and gain at the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE - 
expense of the multitudes who have 
placed them in power. Let them 
hesitate and consider before they enter 
upon any course of action which will 
tie up industry and cause trouble and 
discomfort to the masses. Let them 
be reasonable in the exercise of their 
power and in the demands they make, 
realizing that others have rights and 
that more can be gained by co-opera- 
tion than by conflict. 
In connection with the recent action 
of the Manchester Board of Health 
‘in passing an ordinance requiring 
every owner of a motor boat within 
Manchester waters to provide the 
same with an under-water exhaust or 
muffler before September 1, and in re- 
gard to which the BREEzE has spoken, 
the following editorial from the 
Gloucester Times is of interest : 
It is interesting to note that official 
notice has been taken of the obnox- 
ious, unnecessarily noisy motor boats, 
the Manchester Board of Health hav- 
ing decided that: the loud puffing and 
barking of the motors in the harbor 
of that town is a menace to public 
health. Official action has also been 
taken, the board having ordered the 
owners of every craft to provide 
under-water exhaust, which, they 
claim, will deaden the sound, before 
September 1. It will be remembered 
that a short time ago the question was 
considered in this column, a river 
resident having complained against 
the nerve-racking explosions of the 
gasoline engines. Atthat time it was 
suggested that the greatest fault was 
with the careless persons who made 
no endeavor to reduce the noise, and 
that if the exhaust was placed under 
water considerable of the objection- 
able feature might beobviated. From 
a sensible and sane standpoint, there 
is no desire to interfere with the use 
of the motor boat, but it certainly 
must be admitted that the public who. 
are annoyed have certain rights, and 
it is difficult to see why they should 
not be shown some consideration. It 
is easily realized how the perpetual 
noise from certain gasoline engines 
must grate on the nerves of the ill, 
or the person who is nervous, es- 
pecially late at night or early in the 
morning. For the motor boat owner 
who is careless in regard to noise and 
has no thought for others, especially 
where it is possible to overcome the 
troublesome outbursts from his en- 
gine, there is no sympathy if the law 
takes a hand to try to stop it. The 
result of the Manchester crusade will 
be eagerly awaited by many owners 
of motor craft. 
The Song of the Sleepless 
From Norton’s sunny mountain, 
To far Magnolia’s strand, 
From where Old Neck’s sea fountain 
Rolls up the singing sand, 
From Saw-Mill brook and river, 
From Tater-Row to Plain, 
They call us to deliver 
The land from fog-horn pain. 
What though the spicy breezes 
Blow soft o’er Baker’s isle; 
Where every prospect pleases 
But for the fog-horn vile; 
In vain with lavish kindness 
Dame Nature’s gifts are strown, 
Since men in mindless blindness 
Make fog-horns to be blown! 
Shall we whose peace is blighted 
By the lone siren’s cry, 
Shall we be still despited,— 
The boon of sleep deny ? 
Ring out the lamentation 
Till those who know our grief 
Shall bring some mitigation 
Some remedy or relief. 
Watt, waft ye winds the story, 
And you ye waters roll, 
From Cape and promontory 
To every isle and shoal; 
Till silence seals the siren, 
And motor boats are still, 
And the woes that now environ 
Shall cease to work us ill. 
19th Regiment Reunion 
The 37th annual meeting of the 
19th Massachusetts Regimental asso- 
ciation was held at Tuck’s Point, 
Manchester, Wednesday,- when 44 
members met as guests of Comrade 
Edwin’) Por Stanleys One creator 
Norton's famous clam-bakes with all 
the ‘‘fixins”’ proved an attractive feat- 
ure of the gathering. 
J. P. Condon of Allston, the acting 
president, called the company to order 
after the dinner and he turned the 
meeting over to Wm. R. Melden of 
Lynn, as toastmaster. Short ad- 
dresses were made by Town Clerk A. 
S. Jewett and Mr. Stanley, Newton 
Ellsworth of Rowley, William Hill of 
Salem, Michael Scannell and George 
T. Coppins of Boston, and Major H. 
G. O. Weymouth of Cambridge. 
The pleasure of meeting under such 
favorable auspices, and amid such at- 
tractive surroundings, found expres- 
sion in most of the speeches. Bound 
copies of the regimental history were 
at hand for distribution. 
Following are the officers elected : 
Edwin P. Stanley, president ; Joseph 
E. Hodgkins, A. F. Davis, Jackson 
Dawson, George E. Teele, vice presi- 
dents ; Charles A. Newhall, secretary 
and treasurer; George T. Coppins, 
John P. Reynolds, William A. Hill,. 
Milton Ellsworth, Marcus Kimball, 
executive committee. 
Mrs. Ella Williams of Merrimac re- 
turned Wednesday after a visit with 
her sister Mrs. Charles E. Bell, off 
School street.
