Quote Of The Week Contest

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

"Every manufacturer ought to remember that his fortune was not achieved by himself alone, but by the cooperation of his workmen,” said this week’s mystery quotee. “He should acknowledge their rights to share the benefits of that which could not exist without their faithful performance of duty.  Not until the capitalist is just enough to recognize this truth, can he ever join a group of workmen and feel himself among his friends.” Tell us who expressed these sentiments (which seem especially appropriate this week as the nation’s wealthy and privileged gather in Washington to celebrate their political and economic dominance); send your answer to us at streetheat@dclaborarchives.org  As usual, this week's winner will be drawn at random from those who send in the correct answers; contest winners get recognized in UNION CITY and win valuable prizes!
