Jay Gould: Zitate auf Englisch
As quoted in the Commercial and Financial Chronicle (25 March 1882)
“I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.”
Frequently attributed, often in the context of strikebreaking activities during the Great Southwest Railroad Strike of 1886. See for example Philip Sheldon Foner, History of the Labor Movement in the United States, Volume 2 - Page 50 (1975). A contemporary source has not been identified. Varying forms of the quotation circulated in the labor press as early as 1893, with or without the attribution to Gould.
