The Labor Of A Human Being Is

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.

The Worst Crime Against Working People Is A Company Which Fails To Operate At A Profit.

[the Labor Movement Is] A Movement Of The Working People, For The Working People, By The Working People, Governed By Ourselves, With Its Policies Determined By Ourselves.

Doing For People What They Can And Ought To Do For Themselves Is A Dangerous Experiment. In The Last Analysis, The Welfare Of The Workers Depends Upon Their Own Initiative. Whatever Is Done Under The Guise Of Philanthropy Or Social Morality Which In Any Way Lessens Initiative Is The Greatest Crime That Can Be Committed Against The Toilers. Let Social Busybodies And Professional "public Morals Experts" In Their Fads Reflect Upon The Perils They Rashly Invite Under This Pretense Of Social Welfare.

So Long As There Is One [person] Who Seeks Employment And Cannot Find It, The Hours Of Work Are Too Long.
