Perhaps a northern angler will never quite master the delicacy of this sport, nor acquire the entomological knowledge which seems to be necessary, nor make up his mind between the partisans of the light one-handed rod and the double-handed rod. Literature knows no Trades Unions, but if things go on as they are at present, perhaps we shall hear of literary rattening and picketing.
Grotait put his hand in his pocket directly, and paid the trade-price of the blade three shillings, I think it was." "Yes," said Grotait; "'but, I remember I said at the time, 'you must not construe this that I was any way connected with the rattening. But some are deaf to reason. Hallo!" "What is the matter, sir?" "Why, what is that in the fender? Your eyes are younger than mine." And Mr.
There isn't a power-wheel, or a water-wheel, within eight miles of Hillsborough, that can't show you just such a correspondence as this; and rattening, or worse, at the tail of it." Mr. Holdfast's eye sparkled like a diamond. "I'll make the round," said he. "And, Mr. Little, perhaps you will be kind enough to go with me, and let me question you, on the road.
The property found on him was identified and the magistrate offered the prisoner a jury, which he declined; then the magistrate dealt with the case summarily, refused to recognize rattening, called the offense "petty larceny," and gave the man six months' prison.
But it cannot be that we should not have some defence against victimising, and close unionism is the only defence we have as yet, that any union has had, anywhere, except in Sheffield and I don't suppose you want rattening to start here. Why not arbitrate?" "It is a question of principle," answered Strong, looking Ned in the face.
He went out, and soon returned, and told them it was one sovereign contribution from each man, and five shillings each for Mary Anne. "What, for her services in rattening us?" said Little, dryly. "And her risk," suggested Grotait, in dulcet tones. Little paid the five pounds, and then asked Grotait for the bands. "Good heavens, Mr. Little, do you think I have got your bands?" "You must excuse Mr.
However, he'll be good against rattening; and you have lost a fortnight, and there are a good many orders. Give me a good day's work, and we won't quarrel over the watchman." He then inquired, rather nervously, whether there was anything more. "No, sir: we are agreed. And I'll give you good work, and full time." The die was cast, and now he must go home and face his mother.
Nor must we forget that Trade Unions, like other communities, whatever their legal constitutions may be, are apt practically to fall into the hands of a small minority of active spirits, or even into those of a single astute and ambitious man. Murder, maiming and vitriol throwing are offences punishable by law. So are, or ought to be, rattening and intimidation.
Whenever he made a crusade against a public evil, as when he assailed the prison system, or the madhouse system, or the system of rattening in trades unions, his case was supported by huge collections of indexed fact, and in the fight which commonly followed he could appeal to unimpeachable records; but again and again the angry fervour of the advocate led people to forget or to distrust the judicial accuracy on which his case invariably rested.
What if the vengeance of the housemaid menaced by the imposition of a "calico apron" or a "medium straw bonnet" should assume a darker form, and a system of domestic "rattening" should spread terror through the tranquil parsonages of England?
