Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire"s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday ju

Hello, today is May Day. I and My father, mother and sister went shopping. We bought, lollipops, ice creams, cornflakes, toasts, butter, orange, milk and rolls. And my mother bought toys for me. Such as: train, ball, balloon, car, doll, plane and skateboard. After that we went to zoo. I saw rabbit, tigers, snails, and lions, hamsters, budgies and zebras. My sister asked me “what do your like?” I answered “I like skipping rope. That’s very nice.” She said “Here is you prize, Sunny!” “Oh, thank you! I love it!” I shouted. We sat under a tree. After lunch we drank some milk.
Today I am very happy!
你们好!你们对我的爱,在我心中是无可取代的。你们对我的教育是多么严厉,但又多么慈祥。你们辛辛苦苦把我哺育长大,我在一天一天成长,你们却在一天一天衰老。我在你们的支持下,《春天来啦》这首诗在全国手拉手竞赛中荣获二等奖,这里面除了老师的精心辅导之外,更离不开你们辛勤的培育和鞭策。你们从二岁开始教我认字,三岁送我进幼儿园……,每当我犯错误的时候,你们总是耐心开导我,让我自己知道错误,你们不是跟我说过:“在哪里跌倒,就要从哪里站起来!”我就靠着你们这句话一步一步地向前走。要是没有你们心和汗水的浇灌,就没有我今天的茁壮成长。谢谢你们,我亲爱的爸爸妈妈!
爸爸,我知道您平时对我要求比较严格,生活上却是无微不至地关怀。您虽然远在军营,却常常打电话向妈妈询问我的学习和生活情况。您一个人在外自己更要注意身体。我知道您有一个不好的习惯,就是喜欢吸烟、喝酒。您应该知道吸烟有害健康,电视上不是专门放这一类广告吗?为了您,我在家里贴了一张戒烟的标志,希望您能看到它,戒烟吧!为了您自己的身体健康想想,就当为了我,我会被那令人窒息的烟味给呛的。希望您能戒烟,求您了。
妈妈,我知道您工作很忙,常常要不分昼夜地联系业务,有时双休日也没能好好休息带团队出去旅游,还要照顾我的学习和生活,我深知您带我的艰辛,但您有时凶得却不合情理。记得有一次,我在您没回来时,看了“哆拉A梦”的动画片,您回来时看到了,“啪”的一声,在我的脸上留下了一个“迷你型”的五指山,还惨遭到了一次劈头盖脸的一顿骂。那时我在您骂的时候吱了几声,又被你打了。少儿节目您没有看过,可能不知道吧,里面有动物知识、植物知识,还有生活常识,它对我的.成长有很大的帮助,应该是有好处的呀。它能让我增长见识,就让我每天看一个片段吧。爸爸妈妈,总不能整天让我埋在书海里吧。我会永远记住你们对我的谆谆教诲的,我会记住我是小学生,有节制看电视的。请你们放心,我会的,我会记住……
放心吧,爸爸妈妈!
你们的儿子:徐浩仁
