Labor Day Is Devoted To No Man,

[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.

Time Is The Most Valuable Thing On Earth: Time To Think, Time To Act, Time To Extend Our Fraternal Relations, Time To Become Better Men, Time To Become Better Women, Time To Become Better And More Independent Citizens.

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.

The Labor Of A Human Being Is Not A Commodity Or Article Of Commerce.

Workingmen Are At The Foundation Of Society. Show Me That Product Of Human Endeavor In The Making Of Which The Workingman Has Had No Share, And I Will Show You Something That Society Can Well Dispense With.
