NO RETIREMENT -1855EL FERROCARRILERO 1855

McFarlane worked 30 years and when he died there wasn't enough money for burial fees.

Because he only made 15 cent a hour! and in those times. No Retirement

His bones were weak and tired, but old Me Farlane did everything in his power to make 15 cent a hour...

You see in those times there was no retirement.

Melvin Brown

El viejo antillano en el ferrocarril lanzaba su mazo.

Al viejo antillano del ferrocarril le pesaban los huesos.

Al viejo antillano en el ferrocarril, no lo jubila los claves ni el "administration building"

Porque 15 centavos la hora debe bastar para pasaje y merienda. Y si padece el viejo en los rieles?

No importa. siempre habra otro que acepte 15 centavos la hora.
