Another item we're running this week in observation of Labor Day, this past Monday, and of course in keeping with our recent 1918 theme, the Wyoming Labor Journal.
This is the issue of September 6, 1918 and followed the recent Labor Day observance in 1918. While various unions that exist in Wyoming do publish trade journals today, as far as I'm aware there is no longer a general labor newspaper such as this.
Labor was in an odd position in the Great War as it was continually somewhat at odds with the administration while also supporting the war effort. From the patriotic front page of the paper, you wouldn't necessary know that from the Journal.
