Today in labor history Dec 26 The largest public mass execution ever in the United States

December 26

Workingmen’s Party is reorganized as the Socialist Labor Party - 1877

December 26, 1862 - The largest public mass execution ever in the United States took place in Mankato, Minnesota, when the U.S. military hung 38 Dakota men for their part in the "Sioux Outbreak" that began in August of that year. Every year, Native Americans commemorate the tragedy with a memorial run from Fort Snelling to Mankato, followed by a pipe ceremony to honor their ancestors.

December 26, 1917 - The Meatcutters, Sausage Makers and Butcher Workmen of Minneapolis, Local No. 653, received its charter.
