Today is:
“The first Monday in September of each year throughout the
United States is set apart as a general holiday. On this day every man who labors lays down
his tools and forgets the harassing cares and worries of everyday work and
prepares to enjoy himself. It is so
established to fix in the minds of the people the importance of the great
democracy call Labor.”
---Rock Springs
Miner, 5 September 1919, page 1.
