"I'm willin' to leave that to lecturers and dynamiters, and let 'em settle it if they can. I don't grudge the rich nothin', and I ain't goin' to call the Almighty to account for givin' somebody else the biggest piece of pie; mebbe it would give me the stomach-ache. All I'm concerned about is Lloyd's shut-down." "That's so," said Eva.
Entering the laboratory one day after one of his rounds of the camp, he stood for some time silently watching Darrell at his work. "In case of a shut-down here," he said at length, speaking abruptly, "how would you like a clerical position in my office down there at Ophir, book-keeping or something of the sort, just temporarily, you know?" Darrell looked up from his work in surprise.
But, of course, the shut-down doesn't trouble you, Nan. Not personally, I mean. Your father has had a good position for so many years " "I'm not at all sure that it won't trouble us," Nan interposed gravely. "But of course we are not in danger of starvation." She felt some delicacy about entirely confiding in Bess on the subject.
Underwood, during the shut-down, had improved the time to enlarge the mill and add considerable new machinery; this work was now nearly completed; in two weeks the mill would again be running, and he offered Darrell his old position as assayer in charge, which the latter, somewhat to Mr. Underwood's surprise, accepted.
Had not Edison suspended the manufacture and sale of his storage battery a few years ago because he was not satisfied with it, there might have been given here some noteworthy figures of an extensive business, for the company's books show an astonishing number of orders that were received during the time of the shut-down.
The old soldier got up from the shut-down lid of the chest, walked to the corner of the room, and took his crook-like staff, to which a rough bundle was already tied, and then he stepped back to where Marcus was seated upon the edge of the table which had so lately borne the armour carefully spread out. "Good-bye, Marcus, boy," he said, holding out his hand.
We can tell by the shut-down endorsements on brewery and distillery policies and by the increasing losses on saloons whose owners can make no further profit. Is there a corner in wheat or coffee or cotton? We follow the moves in the struggle by the ebb and flow of insurance in the big warehouses and elevators and compresses. Is the automobile market overstocked?
This reduction was not accepted by the men, who had become discontented with the factory management and the town regulations, and a strike ensued, followed by a complete shut-down of the works. Although these shops were non-union shops, the strikers were hastily organized and appealed for help to the American Railway Union, which at that moment was holding its biennial meeting in Chicago.
We'll sell at an advance, and clean up a few millions out of the shut-down. Meanwhile we'll starve this patriotic State into submission." It came to pass even as Harley had predicted. With the Consolidated mines closed, copper, jumped up up up. The trust could sit still and coin money without turning a hand, while its employees suffered in the long, bitter Northern winter.
"Do you regard a shut-down as imminent?" he inquired, smiling. "Well, yes; there's no half-way measures with me. No man that works for me will go off the grounds for his meals. But that isn't answering my question." Darrell's face grew serious. "You forget, Mr. Underwood, that until I am put to the test, I have no means of knowing whether or not I can do the work you wish done." "By George!
