Two things to note.
One? This should be the date that "Labor Day" is celebrated. It's the date of International Workers' Day. It's the date that the American Federation of Labor called for the eight-hour day to be implemented, in 1886. And, that exact date is the day the Haymarket rally started.
Per the first link, ConservaDem President Grover Cleveland pushed for the September Labor Day date precisely to "defang" it and remove Haymarket connections.
Even worse? Per that page, Ike, Mr. "one nation UNDER GOD" Pledge of Allegiance president, declared May 1 to be Loyalty Day. Because "godless Communism," of course.
