She had come to regard Beals as something of a chronic fanatic, but as she knew that the lasters were fairly paid, she had not supposed it meant anything. However, one night, going home from the factory, her eyes were opened.
Is it a sign of a fool to agree with one's adversary while we are in the way with him, even before he delivereth us to the judge? Yea, it is a piece of the highest wisdom. Is he a fool that chooseth for himself long lasters, or he whose best things will rot in a day? The Lord is his rock, his defence, his refuge, his high tower, unto which he doth continually resort.
Nellie Stone was at the desk eating her luncheon; Ed Flynn and Dennison and one of the lasters, who had looked in and then stepped in when he saw Lloyd was gone, were there. The laster, who was young and coarsely handsome, had an admiration for the pretty girl at the desk. Presently she addressed him, with her mouth full of apple-pie. "Say, George, what are you fellows going to do?" she asked.
Unfortunately I work single-handed, but it looks good and it isn't lies. Naturally I want Riveters and Clickers and Lasters and Finishers. Then I could set up a big establishment and gouge out Mordecai Schwartz's eyes. But the Most High denies me assistants, and I am content to want." Moses understood that attitude towards the nature of things.
He did not care to remember that dinner was due in two hours. He turned aimlessly into Wentworth Street, and studied a placard that hung in a bootmaker's window. This was the announcement it made in jargon: Riveters, Clickers, Lasters, Finishers, Wanted. BARUCH EMANUEL, Cobbler. Makes and Repairs Boots.

It was a mixture of German, bad English and Cockneyese, phonetically spelt in Hebrew letters: Mens Solen Und Eelen, 2/6 Lydies Deeto, 1/6 Kindersche Deeto, 1/6 Hier wird gemacht Aller Hant Sleepers Fur Trebbelers Zu De Billigsten Preissen. Baruch Emanuel had prospered since the days when he wanted "lasters and riveters" without being able to afford them.
"Look here," he continued to Abby, "you and Ellen come along here a little ways, and I'll tell you." After Maria and Mamie had passed on, Joy and Jones and Lee, standing close to the two girls, began to talk, Lee leading. "Well, look here," he said, in a hushed voice. "We've found out no matter how, but we've found out that the boss is goin' to dock the lasters' pay." "How much?" asked Abby.
"No, but ever so many of the lasters have large families." "I hope they don't drag Willy Jones into it," said Abby. She looked back as she spoke. Willy, in the little knot of men, was looking after her, and their eyes met. Abby colored. "It's a shame to dock his wages," she said. "Whose Willy Jones's?" "Yes. I hope he won't get into any trouble. I can't bear that Lee."

"I am sure it is the best course," he said to her, still in that low, confidential voice. It ended in a committee of four John Sargent, Amos Lee, Tom Peel, and one of the older lasters, a very respectable man, a deacon in the Baptist Church being appointed to wait on Robert Lloyd that evening. When the one-o'clock whistle blew, Ellen went back to her machine.
