He climbed back to his seat under the wagon umbrella, and, as he started his team again with great cracks of his long whip, turned to the painters still at work upon the sign and declared with some defiance: "Sieben yahr; yais, sir, seiben yahr I hef been on dis rench. Git oop, you mule you, hoop!" Meanwhile Presley had turned into the Lower Road. He was now on Derrick's land, division No.

I know if we could sit down and talk this thing out with you, Mr. Pindar, you'd see it reasonable. ASHER. Reasonable? Treasonable, you mean, to strike when the lives of hundreds of thousands of your fellow countrymen depend on your labour. RENCH. We ain't striking you're striking! That's right! RENCH. We're ready to go back to work this afternoon if you treat us like Americans.
"UND DER PIPE-LINE GE-MEND," Hooven burst out, suddenly remembering a forgotten argument. He waved an arm. "Ach, der pipe-line bei der Mission Greek, und der waater-hole for dose cettles. Say, he doand doo ut HIMSELLUF, berhaps, I doand tink." "Well, talk to Harran about it." "Say, he doand farm der whole demn rench bei hisseluf. Me, I gotta stay."
RENCH. I'm afraid we don't get you, Captain. GEORGE. You belong to the American Federation of Labour, don't you? Has it got a new house ready to move into? RENCH. Well, I haven't seen any plans. GEORGE. If the old structure's too small, one party or the other will have to be shoved out. The capitalist or the employee. Which will it be? If it comes to that There's no question in your mind.
Collective bargaining is only right and fair, now that individual bargaining has gone by. We want to be able to talk to you as man to man, that's only self-respecting on our part. All you've got to do is to say one word, that you'll recognize the union, and I'll guarantee there won't be any trouble. RENCH. If you don't, we walk out at noon.
I b'lieve in havin' a good time when you start out to have it. If you git knocked out of one plan, you want to git yerself another right quick, before yer sperrits has a chance to fall. Here comes Jake an' Chris with their baskets. Suppose you rench off yer hands an' go gether up the rest of the childern. I 'spect Billy's done hitched up by this time."
FERSEN. It will that. HILLMAN. Maybe you won't believe me, Mr. Pindar, but it was hard to see the shops closed down as hard on us as it was on you. We take pride in them, too. I guess you won't regret it. I hope not. I ought to tell you that you may thank my son for this my son and Dr. Pindar. RENCH. We appreciate it, just the same.
RENCH. Well, it's a fact, I hadn't thought much of them intellectuals. GEORGE. They're part of the game their theories are the basis for an intelligent practice. And what should we be able to do without their figures? Look at what we've worked out in large scale production and distribution in this war! That's a new world problem. Shall we be pioneers here in Foxon Falls in the new experiment?
RENCH. An experiment in human chemicals, as the doctor would say. Pioneers! I kind of like that word. You can put me in the wagon, Captain. GEORGE. It will be a Conestoga with the curtains rolled up, so that everybody can see in. No secrets. And it will be a wagon with an industrial constitution. FERSEN. Excuse me, Captain, but what's that?
