Excerpt from “The Worker's Anvil”
Strike, strike, the Workers anvil,
For the cause of Labor,
Strike for your homes and freedom,
For each friend and neighbor,
Ev'ry one.
For this great cause
And reform laws,
Now demand complete protection.
Strike, strike, the fire is glowing—
Heed not ye the minions,
Seeking to capture Labor,
And to clip the pinions
Of our clan.
Will you grant all
At the first call,
And submit to party factions.
Use the poem to answer the question.
Which labor goal of the late nineteenth century does the poem BEST illustrate?
