Samuel Gompers, letter to Judge Peter
Grosscup, September 1894
"You say that 'labor must not attack capital.'
. . . labor has no quarrel with capital, as such.
It is merely the possessors of capital who
refuse to [give] labor . . . the justice which is
the laborers' due with whom we contend. . . ."
