*A Mexican Dog Story

A Canadian man says his pet disappeared after he checked the animal with Delta Airlines for a flight from Mexico City to Detroit.

Josiah Allen, a Canadian man from Ontario, told a popular consumer web site, Delta Airlines offered him an apology and a $200 credit for any future travel with the airline.

Allen said he and his girlfriend rescued the stray dog while on vacation last month in Puerto Vallarta.

“We took him to the vet’s, got him all of his shots, an eye infection treated, two baths to clean him from hundreds of dog ticks that were covering his whole body, and gave him the name Paco,” Allen said.

According to Allen, the nightmare began when the couple attempted to check Paco with Delta for their connecting flight to Detroit. Allen said a Delta agent, Althea Around, told them the pet carrier they purchased for Paco was not big enough. He added that the airline only accepted the carrier after he and his girlfriend signed a waiver releasing Delta of any liability if Paco was injured. (more…)

Chicago was the focal point for the 8-hour work day advocates. (more…)

Contrary to the conventional belief of most Americans living in the United States May Day began here in this country.  The is known in other places around the world as the International Workers’ Day of May Day. It has its basis in the secular celebration of rebirth and fertility from the  holiday of Beltane,  festival day that pre dates Christianity. The date and associated celebrations of May 1st are not as thought by some the result of some labor movement in Communist countries like Cuba or the former Soviet Union. (more…)
