I Am Not Blind To The Shortcomings

The Employment Of Children Is Doing More To Fill Prisons, Insane Asylums, Almshouses, Reformatories, Slums, And Gin Shops Than All The Efforts Of Reformers Are Doing To Improve Society.

I Am Not Unaware That Leaders Betray, And Sell Out, And Play False.

If They Want To Hang Me, Let Them. And On The Scaffold I Will Shout Freedom For The Working Class!

Mourn The Dead, Fight Like Hell For The Living

I Went West And Took Part In The Strike Of The Machinists - The Southern Pacific Railroad, The Corporation That Swung California By Its Golden Tail, That Controlled Its Legislature, Its Farmers, Its Preachers, Its Workers.
