The picnics, speeches, and parades of today’ s Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882. Its promoter was an Irish - American labor leader named Peter J. Mcgurie. A carpenter by trade, Mcguire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners(UBCJ). Approaching the City’ s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud(~)"the industrial spirit--the great vital force of every nation," On September 5th his suggestion bore fruit, as an estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses’ warnings ,left work to march from Union square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.
The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of "progress and poverty." In a society in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti - capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to "wage, slavery" and anarchists(无政府主义)singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite(炸药), middle -of- the roaders like Samuel. Gompers and Mcguire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.
Judging from the passage Mcgnire was ______.
选项
A、a moderate labor leader
B、an extreme -anarchist in the labor movement
C、a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by man
D、a firm anti - capitalist demanding the elimination of wage slavery
答案

解析
文章中有两处提及Mcguire这个人物,第一次是在文章的开头:他是木匠出身的劳丁领袖,劳动节的发起人。这没有涉及本题各选项的内容。第二次是在第二段后半部分:With socialists demanding an end to“wage slavery”and anarchists singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite,middle-of-the-roaders like Smuel.Gompers and Mcguire seemed attrac
