The two vehicles were drawn up opposite the gate leading to Marrow Farm, and the agent was detaching the four men destined to that locality, with their camping-gear. By the open gate the farmer stood eying his new material askance.
The danger lies in the obtaining control of the trades-unions by the socialists." And the capitalist employers, instead of giving heed to the warnings, are perfecting their strike-breaking organization and combining more strongly than ever for a general assault upon that dearest of all things to the trades-unions the closed shop.
Failure, however, was inherent in the method, for success depended upon unanimity, and the greater the membership of the unions and the more serious their menace to the industries of the country, the higher was the premium for defection; and at last strike-breaking became a regular employment, organized, officered and equipped for the service required by the wealth and intelligence that directed it.

"The boy is ready to go with you now," she said.
"Judson has told you what's due to happen?" queried the trainmaster. "He told me to look for swift trouble; that somebody had betrayed your strike-breaking scheme." "He says they'll try to keep the east-bound freights from going out." "That would be a small matter. But we mustn't lose the moral effect of taking the first trick in the game.
