Thanks for posting that. I did some browsing on the internet to see if I could identify the source for that poem and discovered The Scab that had been delivered as a speech by Jack London. Other links indicated that the poem you quoted had often been attributed to him but still other links indicated that it may have been something picked up by the labor movement in the early 1900's and polished to look like it had indeed come from him. Did your professor happen to identify the source
