TIMOTHY. He recognize the union! He'll recognize the devil first! Even Dr. Jonathan, with all the persuasion he has, couldn't get Mr. Pindar to recognize the union. He'll close down the shops, and it's hunting a job I'll be, and I here going on thirty years. RENCH. If he closes the shops what then? The blood of the soldiers'll be on his head, not ours. If there were fewer scabs in the country
Hasn't it struck you, Fersen, that unless a man has a voice and an interest in the industry in which he works his voice, and interest in the government for which he votes is a mockery? RENCH. We'll have to give Larz a little education. GEORGE. Oh, I guess he'll make a good industrial citizen. But that's part of the bargain. RENCH. That's fair.
DR. JONATHAN. And if you don't work here, you'll go off to work somewhere else. RENCH. Where they recognize the union. DR. JONATHAN. A good many of your friends have enlisted, haven't they? RENCH. For the same thing as we want, a square deal. DR. JONATHAN. And what do you think George Pindar is fighting for? RENCH. I ain't got nothing to say against him.
MINNIE. This is his busy day. Oh, it's you, Hillman. Come in. MINNIE. I guess I'll go for the mail. HILLMAN is a little man, with red hair and a stiff, bristling red moustache. He holds himself erect, and walks on the balls of his feet, quietly. RENCH is tall and thin, with a black moustache, like a seal's. He has a loud, nasal voice, and an assertive manner.
GEORGE. Now that you've got your union, what's the good of it? Why, I thought we'd made that pretty clear, Captain. We've got something to fall back on in case the employers don't live up to their agreements. I'm not speaking of you GEORGE. In other words, you've got a weapon. RENCH. Well, you might call it that. GEORGE. But weapons imply warfare, don't they? RENCH. We wouldn't fight with you.
I won't have Dr. Pindar or anyone else interfering in my private affairs. RENCH. All right I guess we're wasting time here, boys. We walk out and stay out. And if that's treason, go back to Washington and tell 'em so. Come on boys! ASHER. My God, it's come! My shops shut down, for the first time in my life, and when the government relies on me! What are you doing?
RENCH. We'd have agreed to put it off. When a young man like that is near dying for his country why anything can wait. But what we're asking is only right. ASHER. Well, right or not right, I sent for you to say, so far as I'm concerned, the strike's over. RENCH. You'll you'll recognize the union? RENCH. We appreciate it, Mr. Pindar. This'll make a lot of families happy tonight.
DR. JONATHAN. No nation, no set of men in any nation can quench that fire or make the world that is coming out of this war. They may think they can, but they can't. HILLMAN. That's so! DR. JONATHAN. Germany will be beaten, because it is the temper of the nation, the temper of the times your temper. You don't want Germany to win, Rench? RENCH. No, I guess not.
I thought the Governor was going to manage without his tenants this year." "Ach, Meest'r Ennixter," cried the other, straightening up. "Ach, dat's you, eh? Ach, you bedt he doand menege mitout me. Me, I gotta stay. I talk der straighd talk mit der Governor. I fix 'em. Ach, you bedt. Sieben yahr I hef bei der rench ge-stopped; yais, sir. Efery oder sohn-of-a-guhn bei der plaice ged der sach bud me.
DR. JONATHAN. Can you get your rights now, without obstructing the war? I get what you're driving at, doctor. You're going to say that we've just reached quantity production on these here machines, and if labour gets from under now, the Huns win. When a building with dry rot catches fire, Rench, can you put limit to how much of it will burn? Maybe not. I get you but
