A major parade protesting child labor, and generally celebrating the cause of labor, was held in New York City.
The parade had a heavily ethnic character to it, and the day was regarded as "Labor Day", before that holiday was officially created as an American one in contrast to May Day.
Walter Reed Medical Center opened as Walter Reed General Hospital.
San Franciscans turned out in huge numbers to visit the Aso and Soya which had been captured by Japan in the Russo Japanese War.
The Aso, which had been the Bayan was sunk as a target ship in 1932. The Soya, which had been the Varyag, was given back to the Imperial Russian Navy in 1916 during the Great War, was seized by the British in 1918, sold to the Germans for scrap in 1920, but ran aground whiel being towed, and was scrapped in place, the process being completed in 1925.
