day Is celebrated by the labor people
throughout the country and has been legal
lied by thirty-six states and the national
government. The movement for Its ceie
bration, 1t is stated, was started by
group of workingmen allied with the Cen
trail Labor Union of New York city. Its
first observance, as is generally known.
was on the occasion of the meeting of the
General Assembly of the knights of Labor
| in New York city in September, 1882. when
there was a parade of various organiza-
| tions allied with the New York Central La
Dor Union, body independent of the
Knights of Labor. In 1883 the labor or
ganizations of New York observed the an
niversary by a street parade and picnic.
The following year. 1884, the Central Labor
Union of that city. when considering the
date for parade of the labor organiZa-
tions, adopted a resolution declaring the
first Monday in September to be Labor day
and measures were taken to secure an en-
actment making that day a legal holiday
to be known as Lebor day. The resultant
legislation in the various states legalizins
the observance of the day has been fire.
