Ten thousand times has the labor movement stumbled and bruised itself. We have been enjoined by the courts, assaulted by thugs, charged by the militia, traduced by the press, frowned upon in public opinion, and deceived by politicians.

-- Eugene V. Debs |

Labor Day differs in every essential from other holidays of the year in any country.
