Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952:

"I have no use for those — regardless of their political party — who hold some foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when unorganized labor was a huddled, almost helpless mass."

--Dwight D. Eisenhower, who died #OTD 1969, in Speech to the American Federation of Labor, September 17, 1952
