"Fellow delegates, you are not alone here as the accredited representatives of your local organization, but as representatives of all of the salespeople of America. It is your solemn duty, and it should be a most pleasant one, to give credence to the appeal of all salespeople, whether members or not. This Convention can not and must not adjourn until plans have been outlined to secure for every employe in the retail stores of America a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. "Wendell Phillips' opinion on this phase of life is well worth quoting, and the first part, though spoken to men, applies with equal truth to women. "'Lift a man, give him life, let him work eight hours a day, give him beautiful things to see and good books to read, and you will starve out the lower appetites. Give a man a chance to earn a good living and you may save his life.' So it is with women. Give men in this country good wages and eight hours' work and they will disdain to steal. Give unto all women a chance to earn a good living and they will disdain to barter their virtue for gold." At the last session of that Convention the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Whereas, It is a well-known fact that during the past decade the cost of living has increased at an unprecedented and alarming rate through the unholy and unlawful combinations of capital; and, "Whereas, It is also an undeniable fact that the wages of the retail clerks have remained stationary; and, "Whereas, The retail clerk is now in a position where it is impossible to earn a living wage, especially in the department store; and, "Whereas, We believe that the retail clerk has an inherent right to demand just and fair remuneration for services ...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Golland leaves no stone unturned in this fine-grained chronicle of the rock group Journey.... Golland’s passion and precision make this a pleasure." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "[Golland] provides an overdue critical take on the group’s overall sound. He also discusses issues of musical influence versus appropriation. It is rare, and valuable, to find such insight in books like this." -Library Journal, Starred Review “A welcome study of one of rock’s most enduring musical fusions." - Salon Relive Journey’s greatest songs and moments with this fiftieth anniversary tribute Since exploding on the scene in the late 1970s, Journey has inspired generations of fans with hit after hit. But hidden under this rock ‘n’ roll glory is a complex story of ambition, larger-than-life personalities, and clashes. David Hamilton Golland unearths the band’s true and complete biography, based on over a decade of interviews and thousands of sources. When Steve Perry joined jazz-blues progressive rock band Journey in 1977, they saw a rise to the top, and their 1981 album Escape hit #1. But Perry’s quest for control led to Journey’s demise. They lost their record contract and much of their audience. After the unlikely comeback of “Don’t Stop Believin’” in movies, television, and sports stadiums, a new generation discovered Journey. A professional historian, Golland dispels rehashed myths and also shows how race in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 70s, Journey used the rhythm of soul and Motown to inspire hope in primarily white teenagers’ lives. Decades later, the band and their signature song remain classics, and now, with singer Arnel Pineda, they are again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide.
