Mrs. Lucy Parsons declared that
she had led a parade of unemployed
through the city of Chicago 80 years
ago and conditions today are worse
than then instead of better.
She spoke of the property of the
rich that is protected by the govern

their lives were of no consequence
since the commonwealth indifferently
looked on and permitted them to
staTVe.
She quoted the constitution guar

called on them to demand that right
guaranteed by that constitution.
