Who Gets The Bird, The Hunter Or

Labor Was Marching Toward The Goal Of Industrial Democracy And Contributing Constructively Toward A More Rational Arrangement Of Our Domestic Economy.

The Workers Of The Nation Were Tired Of Waiting For Corporate Industry To Right Their Economic Wrongs, To Alleviate Their Social Agony And To Grant Them Their Political Rights. Despairing Of Fair Treatment, They Resolved To Do Something For Themselves.

I Have Pleaded (labor's) Case, Not In The Quavering Tones Of A Feeble Mendicant Asking Alms, But In The Thundering Voice Of The Captain Of A Mighty Host, Demanding The Rights To Which Free Men Are Entitled.

Labor, Like Israel, Has Many Sorrows. Its Women Weep For Their Fallen And They Lament For The Future Of The Children Of The Race. It Ill Behooves One Who Has Supped At Labor's Table And Who Has Been Sheltered In Labor's House To Curse With Equal Fervor And Fine Impartiality Both Labor And Its Adversaries When They Become Locked In Deadly Embrace.

While The Men Of The Steel Industry Were Going Through Blood And Gas In Defense Of Their Rights And Their Homes And Their Families, Elsewhere On The Far-flung C.i.o. Front The Hosts Of Labor Were Advancing And Intelligent And Permanent Progress Was Being Made.
