The militant trade union movement of today, heading towards a broad People's Front, is the direct lineal descendant of the great strike movement of the 1886 Chicago martyrs. Not only has labor matured very much in the fifty years that have passed since 1886, but so also has the capitalist system that gives it birth. In 1886 American capitalism was young, strong and growing.
"An Operative in the Patuxent, educated himself, went to night school might have been a capitalist like so many of his tribe if he hadn't loved humanity. You'll get along with him." "I'm sure I shall," she replied. Rolfe took from his pocket a little red button with the letters I.W.W. printed across it. He pinned it, caressingly, on her coat. "Now you are one of us!" he exclaimed.
David and Suzanna fell back from the cloud which gathered on the inventor's face. "The commercial value!" he cried. "Have I spent my life working merely that the capitalist may make more money? I tell you, sir, that I have worked only for the betterment of the race. And to you, John Massey, I am giving the great opportunity." "Well, out with it. Where's the great opportunity?" asked Mr.

The problem in regard to the working-man is not how to pet him, nor to patronize him, but how to educate him and inspire him!

The problem is, How shall the capitalist lead the noblest, most public-spirited, and helpful life in relation to those in his employ?
He is the most inveterate capitalist of the whole lot; and I always say, though they keep aloof from him at present, they will be all sticking to his skirts before long. Master Thornberry is against the capitalists in land; but there are other capitalists nearer home, and I know more about them.
It believes that by this increase the attainment of its goal is brought ever nearer, and also that the menace of this increasing vote induces the capitalist class to grant concessions in the hope of preventing further increases.
The secret of the treasure he had brought with him remained safe with the doctor and the priest, and with Bird who had discovered it with them; but Bird was not the man to conceal from his neighbors the fact that his guest was a great American capitalist, who had come to develop the mineral, agricultural, and manufacturing interests of Haha Bay on the American scale; and to enrich the whole region, buying land of those who wished to sell, and employing all those who desired to work.
But society as a whole could not assent to the theory and the practice that the capitalist, the owner of the machines, should reap all the advantages; and so, while the hours were still further reduced, the wages were increased, thus more nearly equalizing the benefits accruing to employer and employed.
"Oh!" said the capitalist, but his tone was ominous. It was really a wonderful, even if a very simple, revolution in the handling of submarine boats that Jack Benson had thought out.
