    The History Of Labor Day NBC5.com
    'Labor Day differs in every essential from the other holidays of the year in any country. All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation.'
    -- ' Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president
    American Federation of Labor.
