"Will you leave him alone, Martin?" he cried, breathless from running. "Oh!" cried Martin, "here is one of the bloodsuckers! You have just come at the right time.

You and your father are piling up millions and every penny a loaf stolen from the table of a workingman!... There'll be starving out there soon.... Babies will be dying for want of food and you'll have killed them.... You and your kind are bloodsuckers, parasites!... and you're a sneaking, spying hound....

You forced the strike, backed up by the millions of the automobile crowd, so you could crush and smash your men so they wouldn't dare to mutter or complain.
