I hold that they were treated with gross injustice; and that society, acting if necessary through the Government, in such a case should bend its energies to remedy such injustice; and I will support any proper legislation that will aid in securing the desired end.

In order that prosperity may be passed around it is necessary that the prosperity exist.

In order that labor shall receive its fair share in the division of reward it is necessary that there be a reward to divide.
