Changed one word

In the Triangle fire speech I changed "...poverty is so sacred..." to "property is so sacred" in accordance with the wiki entry on the fire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.72.244.157 (talk) 15:55, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

conflicting views on bread and roses

in the 1912 Lawrence strike article we have:

The phrase "bread and roses" actually preceded the strike, however, appearing in a poem by James Oppenheim published in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1911. However, a 1916 labor anthology, The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest by Upton Sinclair, attributed the phrase to the Lawrence strike and the association stuck. "Bread and roses" has also been attributed to socialist union organizer Rose Schneiderman.

in Schneiderman's article, however:

Her phrase "Bread and Roses", became associated with a 1912 textile strike of largely immigrant, largely women workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts.It was later used as the title of a poem[citation needed]
