What Does Labor Want?
"What does Labor want?
It wants the earth and the fullness thereof.
There is nothing
too beautiful, too lofty, too ennobling
unless it is within the scope and aspiration
of Labor's aspirations and wants.
We want
more schoolhouses and less jails
more books and less arsenals
more learning and less vice
more liesure and less greed
more justice and less revenge
in fact, more of the opportunities to make
childhood more joyful
womanhood more beautiful
and manhood more noble."
Samuuel Gompers
August 28, 1893
Chicago, Illinois
