The Haymarket Riot for anyone that doesn't know is a riot on May 1st 1886 that started out as a ordinary riot to demand better work standards including an eight hour workday. The riot escalated when the police broke up the riot and someone who is still unknown today threw and detonated a bomb. In the confusion eight police officers were killed from friendly fire and some number of protestors were killed. The riot was a setback to the striker's cause because this pulled away from the Labor parties main goals. In the time succeeding the riot our people were tried and executed and one committed suicide. Samuel Gompers did take this time to create a larger protest with the socialist party in Paris. The Socialist and Labor parties then created a massive demonstration on May 1st 1890 commemorating the men who were killed during the riot, while at the same time protesting.
In 1869, a group of tailors, led by Uriah P. Stephens, formed the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. They spread their message in secret, organizing workers of different jobs but not getting political. In 1879, Stephens was replaced by Terence V. Powderly, and the Knights became a labor powerhouse. The Knights continued to grow until the infamous Haymarket Square tragedy was unfairly blamed on the Knights, by business owners and officials.
