May Day riots of 1894
The May Day riots of 1894 were a series of violent demonstrations that occurred throughout Cleveland, Ohio on May 1, 1894 (May Day). Cleveland's unemployment rate increased dramatically during the Panic of 1893. Finally, riots broke out among the unemployed who condemned city leaders for their ineffective relief measures.〔Cleveland: A Concise History, 1796-1996 by Carol Poh Miller and Robert Anthony Wheeler ISBN 0-253-21147-6〕 According to the New York Times, "()he desire to stop work seemed to take possession of every laborer..." on May Day of 1894.〔"Day of Terror in Cleveland." The New York Times 3 May 1894. Print.〕
==Background==
May Day, or International Workers' Day was a day for the workers who died during the Haymarket Affair of 1886.〔("On May Day and Occupy in the USA" ), ''The Leading Light''〕 During a General Strike in Chicago, Illinois, an unknown person threw a bomb into the crowd, causing police to fire into the crowd, killing civilians and police alike. The same day in 1890, Raymond Lavigne called for international demonstrations to commemorate the day.〔 In 1894 the Pullman Strike in Illinois, as well as this series of unemployed workers' riots on May Day in Cleveland, prompted U.S. President Grover Cleveland to propose a bill that would make a Labor Day a national public holiday.〔"Labor Day." Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica Online School Edition. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 2012. Web. 15 May 2012..〕 After the Haymarket Square riot in May, 1886, US President Grover Cleveland
feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the riots.〔"Why Did May Day Turn Into Riot Day?" SodaHead.com. Web. .〕 May Day celebrations have diminished in the United States, because of the creation of Labor Day.〔"On May Day and Occupy in the USA", The Leading Light〕
