I thought I was just having false (labor) pains again.

We think the November numbers cast a too-pessimistic view of what the labor market looks like.

I learned in the early part of my career that labor must bear the cross for others' sins, must be the vicarious sufferer for the wrongs that others do.

On their side the workers had only the Constitution. The other side had bayonets.

The workers asked only for bread and a shortening of the long hours of toil. The agitators gave them visions. The police gave them clubs.

Slowly those who create the wealth of the world are permitted to share it. The future is in labor's strong, rough hands.
