Don't let 'em strike; or, if they do strike, have the police bat 'em on the head." "What's this administration got to do with Vanney's mills? I thought they were in Jersey," another diner asked. "So they are, the main ones. But he's backing some of the local clothing manufacturers, the sweat-shop lot. They've been having strikes. That interferes with profits.
Vanney's mills pay girls four dollars a week. Ravenously hungry, Banneker went out to order a long-delayed dinner at Katie's. Hardly had he swallowed his first mouthful of soup, when an office boy appeared. "Mr. Gordon wants to know if you can come back to the office at once."
Horace Vanney's shrewd design to show a budding journalist of promise on which side his self-interest lay. The weak spot in the plan was that Banneker did not seem to care! Banneker's induction into journalism was unimpressive. They gave him a desk, an outfit of writing materials, a mail-box with his name on it, and eventually an assignment. Mr.
"There's one thing about it, though, that puzzles me. If he took old Vanney's tip to buy for a rise, why did he go after the Sippiac Mills with those savage editorials? They're mainly responsible for the legislative investigation that knocked eight points off of United Thread." "Probably to prove his editorial independence." "To whom? You?"
"If you're on this strike case, Cousin Billy," she said, "I'm against you, and I'm ashamed of you." "You probably aren't the former, and you needn't be the latter," he replied. "Aren't you Mr. Vanney's lawyer? And isn't he interested in the strike?" "Not openly. It happens that I'm here for the strikers." Io stared, incredulous. "For the strikers? You mean that they've retained you?" "Oh, no.
Masters, if you act again in these matters without consulting me, you must find another lawyer; I cannot afford fools for clients" they had to call in a physician and resort to the ancient expedient of bleeding, to save the great man's cerebral arteries from bursting. Toward the public press, Enderby's attitude was the exact reverse of Horace Vanney's.
Some day, perhaps, when there were enough of them, when he had become known, had achieved the distinction of a signature like Gardner, there might be a real series.... His vague expectancies were dimmed in weariness. Such was the genesis of the "Local Vagrancies" which later were to set Park Row speculating upon the signature "Eban." Accessibility was one of Mr. Horace Vanney's fads.
Of course I'm putting in my report a statement about your help." Mr. Vanney's cheek flushed. Was this composed young hireling making sport of him? "Tut-tut!" he said again, this time with obvious intent to chide in his manner. "If I see fit to signify my appreciation remember, I am old enough to be your father."
Vanney's practice, whenever any of his enterprises appeared in a dubious or unfavorable aspect, immediately to materialize in print on some subject entirely unrelated, preferably an announcement on behalf of one of the charitable or civic organizations which he officially headed.
Edmonds laughed. "You don't have to bribe your own heeler. The Ledger believes in Vanney's kind of anarchism, as in a religion." "Could he have bought off The Courier?" "Nothing as raw as that. But it's quite possible that if the Sippiac Mills had been a heavy advertiser, the paper wouldn't have sent me to the riots. Some one more sympathetic, maybe." "Didn't they kick on your story?" "Who?
