The Labor Department's history fails to mention International Worker’s Day or the Haymarket Square Massacre/Affair/Incident/Riot. [Click]

Thanks for catching that! How could they leave out the riots especially? Makes you wonder who did the editing.

DeleteAs memory serves me, the President and members of Congress feared a revolution or widespread violent strikes if they did not do something to recognize the worker's movement, so rushed through a "labor day" instead of a "workers' day" and settled on a date not emblematic of any commemoration of workers' struggle, beginning in 1894. In addition to the Haymarket Square “Incident” in 1886, there was the Homestead Strike in 1892 [Click], the Pullman Strike in 1894, [Click] the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in 1911, [Click] the Seattle General Strike in 1919, [Click] and the Wall Street Bombing in 1920. [Click] I am sure there were many other similar incidents, but those come immediately to mind.
