Editing Pullman Strike (section)

===Labor Day===
In 1894, in an effort to conciliate organized labor after the strike, President Grover Cleveland and Congress designated [[Labor Day]] as a federal holiday in contrast with the more radical [[International Workers' Day|May Day]]. Legislation for the holiday was pushed through Congress six days after the strike ended. Samuel Gompers, who had sided with the federal government in its effort to end the strike by the American Railway Union, spoke out in favor of the holiday.<ref name="PBS">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/business-july-dec01-labor_day_9-2/ |title=Online NewsHour: Origins of Labor Day – September 2, 1996 |publisher=PBS |access-date=July 25, 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209171617/http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/business-july-dec01-labor_day_9-2/ |archive-date=February 9, 2014 |date=September 3, 2001 }}</ref><ref>Bill Haywood, ''The Autobiography of Big Bill Haywood,'' 1929, p. 78 ppbk.</ref>
