workers must carry the work further and build the

union center.
In many places comrades paid for their courage
and scores killed and hundreds wounded These the

The working class knows defeat! We march ever
forward from defeat to defeat to victory!
No police socialists, labor berayers can defeat
the organized power of a revolutionary working cass
We will win despite everything
