As the national movement for a general strike in support of the 8-hour work day spread across the U.S. in 1886, business groups and major newspapers lashed out at the effort. On April 25 The New York Times declared the struggle for an 8-hour day to be “un-American” and called public demonstrations for shorter hours “labor disturbances brought about by foreigners.” Other publications declare that an eight-hour workday day would bring about “loafing and gambling, rioting, debauchery and drunkenness.
