Chicago's Memorial Arch to Her Dead Heroes
extracted text (Extract Text)
A MEMORIAL arch in Grant Park,
Chicago, is Labor's tribute to
that city’s gold-star heroes. The
arch was unveiled on Labor Day,
when 200,000 organized workers
marched beneath it and paraded
through the downtown streets
The arch is 80 feet high. It is
topped by a huge golden star, and
is illuminated at night by three
searchlights in red, white, and
blue. On the pillars of the arch are
printed in gold letters the names of
every battle in which American
troops have fought. The names of
Chicago soldiers and sailors who
have died are placed upon the
pylons of the arch. It was designed
by A. N. Rebori.
