It Is Impossible For Capitalists

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.

We Will Stand By Our Friends And Administer A Stinging Rebuke To Men Or Parties Who Are Either Indifferent, Negligent, Or Hostile, And, Wherever Opportunity Affords, To Secure The Election Of Intelligent, Honest, Earnest Trade Unionists, With Clear, Unblemished, Paid-up Union Cards In Their Possession.

No Lasting Gain Has Ever Come From Compulsion.

It Is Impossible For Capitalists And Laborers To Have Common Interests.
