Other states followed and by 1894, 30 of them had taken similar action. It was in that year that Congress legalized the holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. In grandpa's day, Labor Day morning was probably taken up with parades, with as many men as could be assembled carrying banners and signs proclaiming their affiliations and their sentiments, to be reviewed by the mayor and local officials.

Seventy-seven years, and much history, have passed since the holiday was first observed. The young labor movement was making a slow but definite comeback from the industrial crisis of 1873-77 when 'Peter J. McGuire, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, decided that labor should demonstrate its strength. He started a campaign for a day honoring the worker. The first show of support came from the Central Labor Union of New York, which held a parade in September, 1882.
The first Monday was chosen because it fell midway between--July 4 andu Thanksgiving. Parades were held in New York every year after that. In 1884, the three-year-old American Federation of Labor designated the day as Labor Day. A continent away, Oregon was the first state to enact a law1 making the first Monday in September a holiday.
