Saturday, May 1, 1926. Things labor on May Day.

Ford Motors introduced the 40 hour workweek into American industry.  They reduced what had been a 48 hour workweek to that level, with no reduction in pay.


Five people were killed and 28 injured in May Day fighting between Polish Communists and Socialists.

A lot of Americans seem to be too dim to realize there's a difference between the two, but there is.

800,000 British coal miners were locked out.
