Associated Press. Mass Meeting of Cold Supper Club Members — While dinners in thousands of homes grew cold this mob in Grand Central Terminal grew and waited for trains to take them at least somewhere in the vicinity of their homes as the subway strike snarled all forms of transportation. The second day of the runaway strike started by subway motormen took more and more transit workers away from their jobs and made the task of getting to and from work harder and harder.. 01 Dec 1957.

  • “To remember the loneliness, the fear and the insecurity of men who once had to walk alone in huge factories, beside huge machines—to realize that labor unions have meant new dignity and pride to millions of our countrymen—human companionship on the job, and music in the home — to be able to see what larger pay checks mean, not to a man as an employee, but as a husband and as a father—to know these things is to understand what American labor means.” Adlai E. Stevenson (1900–1965). Governor of Illinois. September 1952.
  • “God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God – to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.” John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937). 1905.
  • “What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist – the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art. You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also. The worker must have bread, but she must have roses too.” Rose Schneiderman (1882 – 1972). “Bread and Roses” speech. June 1912, at Women’s Trade Union League (WTUL) gathering in Cleveland, Ohio
