What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures.

—Samuel Gompers
English born American labour leader and first president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL). 1850-1924
