They leave out the part about how Grover Cleveland also brutally supressed striking Pullman workers, and wanted to burnish his image. Also left out: that the US doesn't celebrate labor day on May 1st because "May Day" came to have socialist connotations for some. Of course nobody pays me to be so pedantic in real life, but I can be so here.
