A BRIEF HISTORY
The first American "Labor's Holiday" was held in New York on September 5, 1882.
The suggestion came from Peter McGuire who was president of a labor organization
and an active worker in another. He felt that "the industrial spirit, the great
vital force of the nation" should be honored by having one day set aside for
celebration. There was a gala parade followed by picnics and speaches. Two years
later Congress passed a bill that made this day a holiday in the District of Columbia and all federal offices. Today it is a legal holiday in every state and territory.

Labor Day Poem
Love and Labor
By Ernest Crosby
|
How shall I love my fellow men?
With ineffectual talk?
By dropping honey from my pen,
And sighing as I walk?
Nay, rather love thy neighbor
By working hard and well,
For in the house of labor
It pleaseth love to dwell.
Love him with hammer, saw, and knife,
With ax and pick and spade.
Love him and doubly bless his life
With all thy hands have made.
Thus loving each his neighbor,
Bear one another's load,
For in the house of labor
Love maketh her abode.
