James P. Holland of the Eccentric Firemen's Union of New York City, elected President of the New York State Federation of Labor in 1916.

I created an entry for him in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_P._Holland 5,000 LABORITES OFFER FINE PARADE; Marching Line Much Smaller Than Expected, but Splendidly Organized -- Few Women Out.

Thank you pennylrichardsca and Richard Arthur Norton for the additional information on James P. Holland. We will add it to the photo description when we reload the database.

Another Marshal in the New York City Labor Day Parade: The ten Marshals of the New York City Labor Day Parade:

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called god creatures, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Well -- maybe. Their banner says they're part of the ILGWU, and the signs in the background say "We condemn child labor." This looks like a standard (ladies') union marching in a standard Labor Day parade.

International Lady's Garment Workers Union

@Cassies grandma: actually, that's "International Ladies Garment Workers Union."

Thanks. You know I had it that way to start with and changed it! I remember ads on the radio for the ILGWU when I was a kid. It was a song.

rjones0856: Interesting point! It does make you wonder why the Bain News Service wrote 'Suffragettes' on this photograph, while we have no visual evidence they are actually suffragettes, and more evidence they are simply marching in a Labor Day parade as members of a union. Hard to say if this is an assumption made by the original captioner or if it was based on some other piece of information we do not have.

This is Fantastic ! Give us more !

awesomeness!! ^^
