You Can't Weigh The Soul Of A

You Can't Weigh The Soul Of A Man With A Bar Of Pig-iron.

Our Mission Has Been The Protection Of The Wage-worker, Now; To Increase His Wages; To Cut Hours Off The Long Workday, Which Was Killing Him; To Improve The Safety And The Sanitary Conditions Of The Workshop; To Free Him From The Tyrannies, Petty Or Otherwise, Which Served To Make His Existence A Slavery.

One Fact Stands Out In Bold Relief In The History Of Man's Attempts For Betterment. That Is That When Compulsion Is Used, Only Resentment Is Aroused, And The End Is Not Gained. Only Through Moral Suasion And Appeal To Man's Reason Can A Movement Succeed.

There May Be Here And There A Worker Who For Certain Reasons Unexplainable To Us Does Not Join A Union Of Labor. That Is His Right. It Is His Legal Right, No Matter How Morally Wrong He May Be. It Is His Legal Right, And No One Can Or Dare Question His Exercise Of That Legal Right.

No Lasting Gain Has Ever Come From Compulsion.
