McIver would have me deny my dependence upon Billy and by antagonizing him with my assumed superiority turn his strength to the destruction of our comradeship by which I also live. Your teaching of class loyalty and class hatred applied to Billy and me would result in the ruin of our basket making and in our consequent starvation."
The troubles that disturb us the problems of injustice the wrongs of selfishness that arise through such employers as McIver and such employees as Sam Whaley, are our troubles, and we will settle our own difficulties in our own way as loyal American citizens." The self-appointed apostle of the new freedom had by this time regained his self-control.
Helen's interest in him is her own affair, but I have too great a sense of loyalty to my country and too much self-respect ever to think of McIver as anything but a traitor and an enemy." "And what else?" asked Adam. "I will not promise to keep away from the Interpreter.
You have never been hungry you have never felt the cold you have no children to starve no son to be killed." "I suppose you hold me personally responsible for the strike and for all the hardships that the strikers have brought upon themselves and their families?" said McIver.
When the politician stopped at the cigar stand late that afternoon for a box of the kind he gave his admirers, the philosopher, scratching the revenue label, remarked, "I see by the papers that McIver is still a-stayin'." "Humph!" grunted the politician with careful diplomacy. The bank clerk who was particular about his pipe tobacco chimed in, "McIver is a stayer all right when it comes to that."
An hour later they were returning, and because it was the prettiest street in that part of Millsburgh, McIver chose the way that would take them past the old house. John Ward's machine was standing in front of the Martin cottage. McIver saw it and looked quickly at his companion. There was no need to ask if Helen had recognized her brother's car.
"Suppose you sing that pretty song to McIver, heh? What do you think he would say?" "He would laugh, as you are laughing," returned the Interpreter, sadly. "Tell it to Adam Ward then," jeered the other. "He will recognize his equality with Peter Martin when you explain it, heh?" "Adam Ward is already paying a terrible price for denying it," the Interpreter answered.
McIver did not know that through the tragedy Helen was already lost to him. In his extremity the factory owner had come at last to the man who was said to wield such a powerful influence over the minds of the people. He had never before seen the interior of that hut on the cliff nor met the man who for so many years had been confined there.
And the room where the wife and children of Adam Ward sat was filled with the presence of that hidden thing of which they dared not speak. Everywhere throughout the city the people were discussing John Ward's opposition to McIver. The community, tense with feeling, waited for an answer to the vital question, What would the Mill workers' union do?
"Well, he is. He wants to marry her. If she will only be sensible and see it right, it is a wonderful opportunity for us. McIver made over a million out of the war. His factory is next to this in size and importance and it is so closely related to the Mill that a combination of the two industries, with the control of the new process, would give you a tremendous advantage.
