8 Hour Work Day

LEADERONIA- Today our Great Leader is on the way to Chicago, Il.
This city in the middle of the United States, was the center of
the great worker struggle that took place in 1886.

In 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions
demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States, to come
in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in the general strike
and the U.S. Haymarket Riot of 1886, but eventually also in the
official sanction of the eight-hour workday.[from Wiki]
