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
今天是“五一”国际劳动节。天气非常晴朗。我们一家三口到盐城的人民公园游玩。
人民公园里人山人海、热闹非凡。儿童游戏项目很多。我们先去坐“大青虫”,“大青虫”实际上是电动火车。刚开始,“大青虫”在轨道上“爬”得很慢,然后越来越快,下坡的时候开得最快,让我感觉惊险。我紧紧地抓住前面的把手,生怕自己掉下去。
接着,我们又去做“水上投球”游戏。当船开始旋转时,我从水里抓起一只球,向篮圈投去,结果没投中。我不灰心,又投了第二次。瞄准篮圈中心,用力地投去,结果投中了。接着,我投中了第二次、第三次,一共投中了七次。
我们还玩了“遥控军舰”。刚开始,我不知道怎么操作,所以“军舰”经常和“冰山”相撞。在妈妈的指导下,我操作自如,“军舰”也就可以安全地在水面上航行了。
另外,我们还玩了旋转木马、咚咚猴、扣盆、打怪兽、奇乐堡、太空转盘。
今天,我们玩得很开心。在游戏的同时,我也明白了一个道理:无论做什么事情都要细心、认真,多动脑筋,掌握方法,这样才能获得成功。
It is a memory full of joy that we have 3 day off for labor’s day. To celebrate this short holiday, my uncle decided to take us to Yangmei ancient town to have a visit.
The road to the town is really painful. We waited for about 4 hours to board the ship. The mosquito on the road made my little cousin cry all the time. I felt just like it was the worst day in my life. Our car was in the end of line, and the start of the line was unknown. They said there was only one ship that only brings 8 cars at a time. I considered going home but I really wanted to have a look at that ancient town, so we waited. Thank god. The endless waiting did have an end. We arrived Yangmei at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
The town is really amazing. Modern architectural design seems no effect the buildings there. People there still live in the house make of woods and black brick. They grow plants in the house. In the hall, it is evergreen, means the family is like the plant never decays. In the front door are some flowers with bright color, or a tree with age. The family tree is on the wall. We can see the beginning of their family was Ming Dynasty. One of the restaurants there impressed me. The restaurant is an ancient house of a big and rich family. The house is old with a bed where people lay and did some reading in the old times. The most interesting thing was that there are two red bridal sedan chairs in the front door. They are telling the love and marriage in the old days. The house also has an attic. Water flows through the tube on the left side of it.
A river runs through this town, and the water is clean. We chose a riverside restaurant to have our lunch. The food there was wonderful. We had a good time there. Despite the traffic jams. Yangmei is really a good place to visit. I hope I can visit there again when all the roads and ships are ready for cars.
This May day is long holiday.I went to Dandong with my family by No.17 fast train.It is in northeast of china.And It is near North Korea.It is neither hot nor cold in summer.There people is very kind and friendly.there is a lot of Korea restourant.It is very clean and delicious.
I think Dandong is very clean and beautiful city.
