Today in labor history Feb 17 but I want to say that a million men will grab up the banner of labor

February 17

February 17, 1906 - "Big Bill" Haywood and two others were arrested on charges they had ordered the murder of former Idaho Governor Frank Stuenenberg. Clarence Darrow mounted a successful defense, telling jurors, "If at the behest of this mob you should kill Bill Haywood, he is mortal, he will die, but I want to say that a million men will grab up the banner of labor where at the open grave Haywood lays it down . . ."
