President Grover Cleveland
Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.
President Cleveland is well known for making Labor Day a National holiday in response to the Pullman strike where over 125,000 workers went on strike and the federal government's response was to send in the military to end the strike, resulting in the deaths of 30 workers.
Just a few short days later, President Cleveland signed a bill that made Labor Day a national holiday to appease workers.
