This result was proved by Stefan Mazurkiewicz in 1914, and we will show his proof.
Mazurkiewicz's proof is a rare instance of transfinite induction being used to prove some result outside of set theory (his theorem is considered to be topology).
Mazurkiewicz's original proof was published in Polish in 1914; we follow the French translation that was published in his collected works in 1969.

The next year a third article appeared in Nauka Polska; it was written by Stefan Mazurkiewicz and was largely a supplement to Janiszewki's.
In particular, Mazurkiewicz urged that there be two mathematical research centers instead of one, and that a monograph series should be published in addition to the journal.
As noted above, Janiszewski, along with Stefan Banach, Waclaw Sierpinski, and Stanislaw Zaremba were all instrumental in the development of the Polish School of Mathematics; Poland issued stamps in their honor on the occasion of the 1982 International Congress of Mathematicians, actually held in Warsaw in 1983.
