Pullman Labor Day Celebration

PULLMAN LABOR DAY CELEBRATION

Pullman District

"The day for which the toilers in past centuries looked forward, when their rights and their wrongs would be discussed... that the workers of our day may not only lay down their tools of labor for a holiday, but upon which they may touch shoulders in marching phalanx and feel the stronger for it (Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, 1898)."
