It was a violent labor union strike in Canada where 11people were shot and three died. Strikers of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners attacked local farmers who were stockpiling wood which was defeating the impact of the strike. The Union members damaged the wood and the farmers began shooting.
Initiated in 1882 by a New York carpenter, Peter McGuire, to honor contributions of working people in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and territories, Labor Day was officially celebrated in 1894, having gotten organized fully by the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. A tireless, indefatigable warrior, Peter McGuire!
The first cabin makers were often referred to as joiners or carpenters. They were skilled craftsmen who constructed cabins and other wooden structures using traditional hand tools and techniques.
While it WAS signed into law by President Grover Cleveland, the general secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and co-founder of the American Federation of Labor's Peter J. McGuire was first to suggest a day to honor the American worker. This is in dispute, however, by the International Association of Machinists, whose Matthew Maguire is alleged to have propsed the holiday while serving as a secretary to the Central Labor Union in New York in 1882. Let's just enjoy the day off from work and celebrate with a nice barbecue!
