"His bank wrecking scheme was successfully carried out. "In vain I sought to awaken the interest of the press. The story I told was not credited. I lacked documentary proof. When the crash came the editors realized that I had told the truth. But it was too late. "When I began to look for employment, I found that my name had been blacklisted.
It is said that at a hunt-meet a courtier incurred his royal displeasure through these incautious words: "Sire, you shot this hare from a next to impossible distance, condescend to feel how fat it is!" As the poor man failed to say "See how fat," he fell promptly into disfavor, which is equivalent to being blacklisted in our country.
Now then, some pioneers, at risk of life and health, came to Kyak and found coal. They located it, they did all the law required them to do but did the Government keep its word? Not at all. It was charged that some of them hadn't conformed strictly to the letter of the agreement, and therefore all the claims were blacklisted.
Teamsters, stationary engineers, machinists, and blacksmiths, for example, whether employed by mines, railways, or otherwise, can aid one another in obvious ways as by securing positions for blacklisted men and preventing non-unionists from obtaining employment by means of a special "trade" organization or federation that cuts across the various "industrial" unions or federations.
But a young fellow who liked a good time did n’t save anything in Vienna; there were too many pleasant ways of spending every night what he’d made in the day. After three years there, he came to New York. He was badly advised and went to work on furs during a strike, when the factories were offering big wages. The strikers won, and Cuzak was blacklisted.
"Not for me, though," cried Izon. "I'll get something else." "Are you sure of that?" asked Joe. "Why not?" "Are you sure," Joe went on, "that you won't be blacklisted?" Izon stared at him. "Well I suppose I will." "You'll have to leave the city, Jacob." "I can't. I'm right in my course of engineering. I can't go." "Well, we'll see!" Joe's voice softened. "Now you go home and rest.
You haven't a dozen operators, all told, who haven't been discharged for incompetence, or worse, somewhere else; or a dozen conductors or engineers who weren't good and comfortably blacklisted before they climbed Crosswater. Take McCloskey: you swear by him, don't you?
"But I didn't say that, Mrs. Makely," the young fellow protested, in astonishment. "Well, it stands to reason that if the tramps have all been blacklisted men " "But I didn't say that, either." "No matter! What I am trying to get at is this: if a workman has made himself a nuisance to the employers, haven't they a right to punish him in any way they can?"
So those syndicates who have no correspondent and the papers forming them, are afraid to attack or to criticise the administration for fear they will be blacklisted. And those who have a correspondent with his three thousand dollar signed and sealed pass in his pocket aren't taking any chance on losing him. So, I see before me an endless existence in Vera Cruz.
They would be jeered at and insulted they would be blacklisted and thrown out of Society. Alice's career would be cut short every door would be closed to her. His own career would die before it was born; he would never get into the clubs he would be a pariah he would be bankrupted and penniless.
