in 1884 the first monday in september was selected as the holiday， as originally proposed， and the central labor union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of new york and celebrate a "workingmen"s holiday" on that date. the idea spread with the growth of labor organizations， and in 1885 labor day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
labor’s day is on may 1st. labor’s day is an international day for workers. working is glorious， and we should respect workers. the labor’s day is workers’ holiday and workers can enjoy themselves to their heart’s content. many people choose to travel. and some others will go to the cinema. some will go to parks. and others will stay at home.
五一的由来
五一国际劳动节简称五一节，在每年的5月1日。它是全世界劳动人民的共同节日。关于“五一节的由来”是这样的：中国人民庆祝劳动节的活动可追溯至1918 年。是年，一些革命的知识分子在上海、苏州等地向群众散发介绍“五一”的传单。1920年5月1日，北京、上海、广州等城市的工人群众走上街头举行了声势浩大的游行、集会。新中国成立后，我国于1949 年12月将“五一”定为法定的劳动节。
1921年“五一”前夕，在北京的共产主义小组成员邓中夏等人创办的长辛店劳动补习学校里，工人们学唱《五一纪念歌》。其歌词是：“美哉自由，世界明星，拼吾热血，为他牺牲五一节，要把强权制度一切扫除净，记取五月一日之良辰。红旗飞舞，走光明路，各尽所能劳动节放假几天，各取所需，不分贫富贵贱，责任唯互助，愿大家努力齐进取。”这首雄壮有力的歌，是由长辛店劳动实习学校的教员和北京大学的进步学生共同创编而成的。
labor day： how it came about； what it means
labor day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country五一节，" said samuel gompers， founder and longtime president of the american federation of labor. "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劳动节放假， of glories achieved by one nation over another. labor day……is devoted to no man， living or dead， to no sect， race， or nation."
