If Mr. Ware does not want republican laborers on his plantation, let him pay them in full for the time contracted for, and they will leave his plantation at once.

Labor also wants shorter hours and a say in how work shall be done.

Laboring men can perform for themselves the office of becoming their own employers.

Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes.

He who labours not, cannot enjoy the reward of labour.

Make no mistake: The organization of the working class must be both economic and political. The capitalist is organized upon both lines. You must attack him on both.

Employers love cheap labor, but a country should train its own people.

Everybody feels better about himself, his community, and his country if employers are paying workers well. Economics, though, teaches that if every employer is pressured to raise wages, some labor will be priced out of the market.
