FATAL LABOUR DAY
NEW YORK, September 4. Labour Day, America's first peacetime holiday, brought death to 341 persons. Motor accidents killed 198, the greatest number since the introduction of petrol rationing which was lifted after Japan's capitulation. There were 55 drownings and 88 deaths due-to miscellaneous causes.
This urns one of the signs displayed at the wharf this morning as families waited for their boys to land from the liner Orion.
