On Saturday May 1, 1886 a general strike for the eight hour work day caused US corporations to be a half million workers short. At Chicago's McCormick factory on Monday, May 3, two workers were killed by police when long-time strikers confronted scab workers. Police were trying to disperse the crowd after a labor rally on May 4 when a dynamite bomb killed one officer and mortally wounded six others. Police opened fire killing four and wounding 70 including fellow officers. The seven Haymarket Martyrs (left) were convicted in the sham trial of the century and four were hung in November 1887. May Day is not just about der Maibaum!
