I had rather be poor and be loved by honest working men than to pos sess enough money to corner the! food supply. 3. I want to help others to become enlightened upon the subjects which vitally concern their well being. 4. I want to place the coin of hu man love into the palsied hand of pov erty ' and want, and wipe from the wrinkled cheeks of unhapplness, the scalding tears of discontent and fear. 6. I want to be as gpod as I can. to everybody 1 can, just as long as I can. , 6. I want to have better wages. shorter Louis, steadier . employment, and to assist my fellow workers !o obtain the same. . - 7. If I should see my fellow work er being imposed upon, I claim the right to' render him honorable as sistance In securing the proper im munity from the hand of the oppress or. 8. I believe the principles of organ ised labor are right, and I want to put my shoulders to the wheel ani help push the old car of "humanity and justice" up the hill to success. ' 9.
