Day in and day out we working people spend our lives in fire traps, and there are none to protect us from a similar fate if we ourselves will not at least send forth a threatening cry of protest. Lay down your tools, shake the dust of the mills and factories from your feet, and come in answer to our call. Come to join the toiling multitude.
