Your ancestors fought for you to have a share in that institution over there. It's yours. See the school board, and every Friday night hold your meetings there.

It's an educational institution along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!

army fighting thinking
I want you to pledge to yourselves in this convention to stand as one solid army against the foes of human labor. Think of the thousands who are killed every year and there is no redress for it. We will fight until the mines are made secure and human life valued more than props. Look things in the face. Don't' fear a governor; don't fear anybody. You pay the governor; he has the right to protect you. You are the biggest part of the population in the state. You create its wealth, so I say, let the fight go on; if nobody else will keep on, I will.
