Labor Day Quote

It seems appropriate, given the holiday, to offer up this statement from Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor:

"What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses

and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more
learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed;
more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the
opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to
make manhood more noble, womanhood more
beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright."
