It is easy enough for a gentleman of education and refinement to sit at his typewriter and point out the crimes of the workers. But let him be one of them himself, reared in hard poverty, denied education, thrown into the brute struggle for existence from childhood, oppressed, exploited, forced to strike, clubbed by the police, jailed while his family is evicted, and his wife and children are hungry, and he will hesitate to condemn these as criminals who fight against the crimes of which they are the victims of such savage methods as have been forced upon them by their masters. Debs of course was the labor organizer who ran several times as the Socialist candidate for president......AND JAILED AFTER GETTING MILLIONS of VOTES....Debs was against a europen land war with american involvement, my greatgrandfather who helped raise me and never raised his voice or hit me, drank everday of his life as teenage victom of the war to end all wars......... when will War madness end?....when we take to the streets!
