She knew that, and yet she loved him. She never would get his point of view, and yet he loved her. "I have waited until I was able to do that before speaking to you again," said Robert. "I knew how you felt about the wage-cutting. I thought when matters were back on the old basis that you might feel differently towards me.
When she returned the salutations of her friends on the road she felt that her lips were stiff. "You look dreadful queer, Ellen," Abby Atkins said, anxiously, when she joined her. Maria also was out that morning. "Have you heard what they are going to do?" Ellen asked, in a sort of breathless fashion. "You mean about the wage-cutting? Don't look so, Ellen."
As he walked through the room none of the workers seemed to notice him, but worked with renewed energy. He might have been invisible for all the attention he seemed to excite. He looked with covert tenderness at the back of Ellen's head, and passed on. He reflected that he had adopted the measure of wage-cutting with no difficulty whatever.
She did not wish her parents to worry over it until it was settled in one way or another. When her mother asked what they had done about the wage-cutting, she replied that a committee had been appointed to wait on Mr. Lloyd that evening, and talk it over with him; then she said nothing more. "He won't give in if he's like his uncle," said Fanny. Ellen went on eating her supper in silence.
Fanny opened her mouth to tell Ellen of the rumor concerning Robert's engagement to Maud Hemingway, then she refrained, for some reason which she could not analyze.

"What are they going to do?" asked Andrew.
We cut the overhead charge from $146 a car to $93 a car, and when you realize what this means on more than four thousand cars a day you will have an idea how, not by economy, not by wage-cutting, but by the elimination of waste, it is possible to make an "impossible" price. Most important of all, we found out how to use less money in our business by speeding up the turnover.
"Why, you know you had a committee wait upon you last night, Mr. Lloyd," replied Dennison. Flynn looked out of the window at the retreating throngs of workmen, and gave a whistle under his breath. "Have they struck because of the wage-cutting?" asked Robert, in a curious, boyish, incredulous, aggrieved tone. Then all at once he colored violently. "Let them strike, then!" he cried.
