Poster printed with black ink on mustard yellow colored paper. The page has an unprinted outer border with text and images on a black background. "May Day" is printed at top left in large font, and a decorative geometric border is printed along the right side. A large image aligned at left of center shows two male and one female figure in a setting with industrial tools. One man, seen in profile, stands at a machine with the other man looking over his shoulder just behind him. The woman appears in the foreground just left of center pulling cylindrical objects from a box. A quote by Eugene V. Debs is printed at lower left that reads, "This is the First and Only / International Labor Day. It Belongs to the Working Class and Is Dedicated to the Revolution!" Small text at bottom right discusses a general strike in Chicago on May 1, 1886 to demand, "an 8 hour working day and decent work conditions."
