In Canada the March was victorious. They celebrated better working conditions and what a success.

After it New York City protesters assembled to fight against poor labor conditions the movement quickly spread across America. Workers gathered for picnics concerts and speeches rallying for 8 hour work days and a Labour holiday.

Oregon was the first state to officially recognize the holiday but it wasn't until 12,000 government forces were sent to quell a strike and two railway workers were tragically killed. That pressure mounted from the American work force and Labor Day was put on the federal calendar more than 80 countries worldwide celebrate Labor Day or International Workers day on.
