Friday's Labor Folklore 
Con Carbon, Minstrel of the Mine Patch
Get off of 
   your knees!

Some day we will have the courage to rise up and strike back at these great giants of industry, and then we will see that they weren't giants at all. They only seemed so because we were on our knees and they towered over us.
