Although there *are* other opinions:
"President Grover Cleveland signed a law designating the first Monday
in September as Labor Day nationwide. This is interesting because
Cleveland was not a labor union supporter. In fact, he was trying to
repair some political damage that he suffered earlier that year when
he sent federal troops to put down a strike by the American Railway
Union at the Pullman Co. in Chicago, IL. That action resulted in the
deaths of 34 workers."
