Um, you know, I had a friend who tells me he was walking past the Federal Reserve building during the meeting, and he said he actually heard a couple of verses of Solidarity Forever ringing out from the Federal Reserve bui- building.
Justin WolfersHOST
So I can't say for sure whether that was the board or the staff, but, um, << Solidarity forever >>.

I- that's the emotion.

I wanted to feel that, too.

When the union's inspiration Through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater Anywhere beneath the sun.

Yet what force on earth is weaker Than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong.

It is we who plowed the prairies, Built the cities where they trade, Dug the mines and built the workshops, Endless miles of railroad laid.

Now we stand outcast and starving Mid the wonders we have made, But the union makes us strong.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong.
Harold PhillipsHOST
Tacoma is about three hours away, but every year the Pierce County Central Labor Council has a ceremony at the grave of a guy named Ralph Chaplin.
Harold PhillipsHOST
And most people don't know Ralph Chaplin's name, but they know his work if they've ever sung Solidarity Forever, because he's the guy who wrote the lyrics.
Harold PhillipsHOST
And it was fantastic.
Harold PhillipsHOST
We gathered at this graveyard in Tacoma.
Harold PhillipsHOST
Songs were sung, including Solidarity Forever, but some other songs as well.
Harold PhillipsHOST
And everybody got to say a little bit.
Harold PhillipsHOST
And it was a great, great morning of solidarity and fellowship.

Often they were adapted to familiar hymns or folk melodies to make them easier to memorize.
Rolf StraubachHOST
The early editions contained a lot of our most well-known labor songs, including the song you just heard, Solidarity Forever, arguably the most widely sung union anthem in American history, and one that will get its own episode on this show.
Rolf StraubachHOST
The Little Red Songbook also held songs like the Internationale, the international anthem of the socialist and labor movements, written in France in 1871 and translated into dozens of languages.
Rolf StraubachHOST
It's another song that will get its own full episode.
