RENCH. Go to it, Captain. We'll trust him and you. GEORGE. Trust is all right, but you've got to go to it, too, and use your headpieces. We've got to sit down together and educate ourselves, who are now employers and employees, get hold of all the facts, the statistics, and all the elements, the human nature side of it, from the theorists, the students, whom we've despised.
"I guess I understand 'er all right," Hepsie said sullenly; "'t wouldn't make no difference, you bein' up. She'd be a-tellin' me what t' do just th' same, an' I'm tired enough, washdays, without havin' somebody t' aggravate me about every piece that goes through th' rench." She stood waiting for Elizabeth to speak, and when she did not, added resentfully: "You an' me always got along.
But you hadn't thought about it your Federation hasn't thought about it, or doesn't want to think about it, and your employers don't want to, either. That's so GEORGE. I'll tell you who have thought about it the Bolshevists and the I. W. W. And because they have a programme, some programme, any programme, they're more intelligent than we, for the time. RENCH. Those guys?
Maybe Dr. Jonathan has told you. ASHER. Voted to strike behind my back while I was in Washington attending to the nation's business! RENCH. It ain't as if this was anything new, Mr. Pindar, as if we hadn't been discussing this here difference for near a year. You've had your warning right along. ASHER. Didn't I raise your wages last January? HILLMAN. Wait a minute, Mr. Pindar.
RENCH. I like George, he's always been friendly what we call a common man up here in New England naturally democratic. But at bottom employers is all alike. What makes you think he won't take his ideas about labour from the old man? DR. JONATHAN. Because he belongs to the generation that fights this war. It ain't no use, doctor. Unless you can bring Mr. Pindar 'round, the shops'll close down.
We notice Mr. Pindar comin' in here to see you every day or so, like the rest of Foxon Falls. And we thought you could make him see this thing straight, if any man could. DR. JONATHAN. So the shops will be idle. RENCH. Not a shaft'll turn over till he recognizes the union. HILLMAN. We don't want to do nothin' to obstruct the war, but we've got to have our rights.
You have a way with the men, Mr. George, of getting into their hearts, like. I was thinking just now, if Mr. George had only been home, in the shops, maybe we wouldn't be having all this complaint and trouble. GEORGE. Who's at the bottom of this, Timothy? Rench? Hillman? I thought so. Well, they're not bad chaps when you get under their skins.
But on a sudden the water in the cart gushed over the sides from the vent in the top with a smart sound of splashing. Hooven was forced to turn his attention to it. Presley got his wheel under way. "I hef some converzations mit Herran," Hooven called after him. "He doand doo ut bei hisseluf, den, Mist'r Derrick; ach, no. I stay bei der rench to drive dose cettles."
What you really object to, when you come down to it, is that men like my father and me, and the bankers, we're all in the same boat, most of 'us own banks, too, control the conditions of life for you and men like you. RENCH. I never heard it put in those words, but by gum, it's so.
But what will the miserable men, who don't sit in, be doing while we're squabbling to see who'll have the best rooms? RENCH. Blow the house up, I guess. GEORGE. If they're rough with it, it'll tumble down like a pack of cards simply because we're asses. Can't we build a house big enough for all for a hundred million people and their descendants?
