Edison's early life

Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He was born

on February 11, 1847. His mother taught him at home. Much of his education came
from reading R.G. Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and The Cooper Union
for the Advancement of Science and Art. Edison developed hearing problems at an
early age. The cause of his deafness has been attributed to a bout of scarlet fever
during childhood and recurring untreated middle-ear infections.

Edison developed many skills when he was young. He sold candy and newspapers
on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit and sold vegetables to supplement his
income. He also studied qualitative analysis and conducted chemical experiments
on the train until an accident prohibited further work of the kind. Later, Edison
obtained the exclusive right to sell newspapers on the road. This began Edison's
long streak of entrepreneurial ventures, as he discovered his talents as a
businessman. These talents eventually led him to found 14 companies, including
General Electric, which is still one of the largest publicly traded companies in the
world.

Inventions

He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including
the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the long-lasting, practical electric
light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to
apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of
invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first
industrial research laboratory.

Death

Edison died of complications of diabetes on October 18, 1931, in his home,

"Glenmont" in Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey, which he had
purchased in 1886 as a wedding gift for Mina, his second wife. He is buried behind
the home.

International Workers' Day

The struggle to have eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight
hours for rest was the origin of International Workers' Day, which is also referred to
as May Day or Labor Day. The celebration commemorates the Haymarket
Massacre in Chicago in 1886, when Chicago police shoot workers who were
striking to establish the eight hour day. Many workers died in the event.
Historically, the first congress of the Second International, which was an
organization of socialist and labor parties formed in Paris on July 14, 1889, called
for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests.
In 1891, the Second International recognized May Day as an annual event. In
1904, Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries were
called on to demonstrate actively on May First to establish eight hours of work a
day and to get workers rights. Unions of all countries were urged to go on strike on
May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers.
Most countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1st, except in the
United States and Canada, where Labor Day is held in September. Millions of
working people and their labor unions, all over the world, organize street
demonstrations and street marches. Several countries celebrate the day with
parades, shows and other patriotic and labor-oriented events. Governments are
urged to readjust salaries and wages and to acknowledge workers rights to strike
and hold unions.

1. International Workers' Day was first held to
a.   ask for the right to work
