The working class and the employing class
have nothing in common.
There can be no peace so long as
hunger and want are found among millions
of the working people and the few,
who make up the employing class,
have all the good things of life.

GURLEY FLYNN IS SORRY SHE WASN’T

Terre Haute, Indiana – Debs for Revolutionary Economic Organization
From St. Louis Labor of August 12, 1916:
