TO ROBERT HOBART DAVIS Contents I II III IV

Yesterday I walked 19 miles.

They paid me 35 cents cash And 2 meal tickets. They call us Sandwich-men because: We don't know what a Square Meal is! Do you thank God you are alive? So do we! And notice the DIFFERENCE! I am the Result. The Cause was not Drink. It was HUNGER. All men must die. Knowing this, WE HOPE! If Society won't feed us We'll feed the Society of Worms— POTTER'S FIELD We are the World's Unfortunates: BORN TO BE KICKED! There are poorer than we. HELP THEM! A man with the stride of a conqueror bore a banner: AND STILL WE BELIEVE IN GOD! Look at Fifth Avenue! WHY? See what we are! WHY? If you wish to see One hundred starving men Follow us. YOU WILL REMEMBER IT! HAIL, NEW YORK! WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE YOU! SANDWICH PARADE Pathetic Protest against Industrial Slavery Paupers Who Will Neither Steal Nor Beg Forced by Society to Starve Sandwich Wages, Two Cents an Hour Men About to Die Salute New York
