Fight Like Hell

Oh, hear me, Lord, I'm praying still,

But if you won't, our Union will.

Put hops on the bill of fare

starve no workers anywhere.

I am happy to say that this prayer has been

Answered - by the “old man” himself.

He tells me he has furnished plenty for all,

And that if I'm not getting mine

It's because I'm not organized

Sufficiently to force

The master to loosen up.

He telis me He has no knowledge

Of “dogs,” pressed beef butts, etc.

And that they are probably

Products of the Devil.

He further informs me that

The Capitalists are children of His'n

And that he absolutely refuses

To participate in any children's

He believes in fighting it out along

The tines of Industrial Unionism.

—Yours in fath
