Had I not acted in this emergency, you would have fired me later for incompetence, and blacklisted me for not telling you what you know you ought to know without being told. Referring copper paint, I know from practical experience which brand is best; you know only what paint dealer tells you. Will not stand abuse for knowing my business and attending to it without instructions from landlubber!
I had only been married a year, but of course I had to leave my wife in Buffalo until I got located. When I applied for work I was asked for references and I had none. I told them where I had worked; they asked me to call later, and I called, only to learn that they didn't need any more men. This performance was repeated in every town I struck, until I began to believe that I had been blacklisted.
They must stay by the standards of Mr. Hawke. "Our constituents will destroy us if we don't," said they. "The Anaconda will destroy you if you do," was the blunt retort of the General Attorney. The four stood firm, and were blacklisted for slaughter at the polls a year away, at which time they were faithfully knocked on the head. Sixteen of the twenty went over to Mr.
She even dared to ask me to leave the room. And the nurse was most insulting. But don't worry about it in the least, for papa has promised to have the nurse removed at once from her position, and blacklisted, so that she can't ever get another place in a decent hospital.
The social and industrial order which has blacklisted Upton Sinclair has, while increasing his rage, also increased his art. In his youth he was primarily a lyric boy storming the ears of a world which failed to detect in his romances the promise of which he himself was outspokenly confident.
The high-class employee, on the contrary, has comparatively an easy life, and a new position is difficult to find." Now it is precisely the manual laborer who is most often blacklisted by the large corporations and trusts; and the brain-working employee is better able to adapt himself to some slightly different employment than is the skilled worker in any of the highly specialized trades.
They would have broken their pledge and there could be no hope of holding to their trading rights on that world if they were not blacklisted for breaking contract into the bargain. I-S would be able to move in and clean up and probably they could never prove that the Company was behind their misfortunes though the men of the Queen would always be convinced that that fact was the truth.
But where am I going to end? That's what I want to know where am I going to end?" Sitting down on the bed, she went on: "Every place I look for a position something interferes. It's almost as if I were blacklisted. I know I could get jobs all right, if I wanted to pay the price, but I won't. I just want to tell you, I won't. No!"
Surely Jurgis must know hundreds of men who would like that sort of fun; and there would be the regular Republican leaders and workers to help him out, and they would deliver a big enough majority on election day. When he had heard all this explanation to the end, Jurgis demanded: "But how can I get a job in Packingtown? I'm blacklisted." At which "Bush" Harper laughed.
Camp," I interposed, "but isn't a blacklisted man usually a man who has made himself prominent in some labor trouble?" "Yes," the young fellow answered, without seeming sensible of the point I had made. "Ah!" I returned. "Then you can hardly blame the employers for taking it out of him in any way they can. That's human nature." "Good heavens!" the Altrurian cried out.
