Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.

I live in the United States, but I do not know exactly where. My address is wherever there is a fight against oppression.

I went West and took part in the strike of the machinists - the Southern Pacific Railroad, the corporation that swung California by its golden tail, that controlled its legislature, its farmers, its preachers, its workers.

My friends, it is solidarity of labor we want. We do not want to find fault with each other, but to solidify our forces and say to each other: We must be together; our masters are joined together and we must do the same thing.

That is, the wife must care for what the husband cares for if he is to remain resolute.

I'm not afraid of the press or the Militia.

I nursed men back to sanity who were driven to despair. I solicited clothes for the ragged children, for the desperate mothers. I laid out the dead, the martyrs of the strike.
