The Commission went into the Pullman affair, quite unwarrantedly, according to the corporation, which was comfortably out of the mess.
He had been discharged and blacklisted at the motor-truck factory in Ironton, his last job; he had been discharged and black-listed at the Empire Shops; he had been arrested and sent to jail for "soap-boxing" on the streets of Leesville; he had been arrested in the bomb-conspiracy of Kumme and Heinrich von Holst.
Germany discriminated against and blacklisted American firms doing business in Germany. Germany prevented American correspondents from sending true despatches from Berlin during every submarine crisis. Germany insulted American women, even the wives of American consular officials, when they crossed the German border.
You know yourself that anybody who talks against the Northeastern is booted down and blacklisted. You've seen that, haven't you?" "I have observed," said Mr. Crewe, "that things do not seem to be as they should in a free government." "And it makes your blood boil as an American citizen, don't it? It does mine," said Mr. Tooting, with fine indignation.
All I knew was that I was Julian Jones and that I'd been blacklisted in the big strike, and that I was married to Sarah here. I mean that. I didn't know anything in between, and when Sarah tried to talk about it, it gave me pains in the head. I mean my head was queer, and I knew it was queer.

Thus Gabriel, the discharged, blacklisted, outcast rebel and proletarian, bore in his arms of mercy and compassion the only daughter of old Isaac Flint, his enemy, Flint the would-be master of the world. Thus he bore the woman who had been betrothed to "Tiger" Waldron, unscrupulous and cruel partner in that scheme of dominance and enslavement. Such was the meeting of this woman and this man.
