Labor Day

Grover Cleveland

Grover Cleveland isn’t known for much as President of this grand country of ours, and that’s typically a good sign. He reined in an era of no major wars, conflicts, or treacherous natural disasters that we exist in today. He was a pro-business man, and business had the main issues during his two terms.

So, with a mostly clean slate and America humming along with our newfound machines, the beginning of the industrial age, an exploding domestic boom in manufacturing was moving briskly along. President Cleveland made the labor movement, the interests of the blue-collar man and the owners where they worked, a high priority. A stake not many in Washington hold true today.

Although, the only real move Grover Cleveland made during his tenure that still captures our conscious was the holiday, Labor Day.

It began like most national holidays, recognized first locally, which occurred in New York with the Central Labor Union, and after twelve years it became a nationwide celebration following a tragedy where a number of workers on strike died at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the famous “Pullman Strike.”

The event entails great tragedy, unlawful Government actions, and fatality, but represents a business era we’re experiencing today. A fight seeking a lawful representation of the American business, their rights, both as workers and owners, whom loyally stand behind them the basic principles of economics.

“Purchased this table unfinished so I could stain it to match my other furniture. Great quality and solid Ash construction (no veneers). Came well packaged and fast shipping. Worth the price in my opinion for solid wood. (Posted on 7/15/11) by quilter mom”
