Sometimes it seemed to me I could not look at those silent little figures; that I must go north, to the grim coal fields, to the Rocky Mountain camps, where the labor fight is at least fought by grown men

Not all the coal that is dug warms the world.

I want to hold a series of meetings all over the country and get the facts before the American people

Freedom for the working class!

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union.

I will tell the truth wherever I please.
