Quote #3 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and The Social Movement
“The employer wants quiet, stagnation; wants to be let severely alone. The agitator won't have it so. At the bottom of the labor question there exists a wrong of incalculable enormity. The labor agitator seeks to unearth it — to lay it bare, to expose it to the gaze of the world and exterminate it.”
