Rattling his tools, he followed me with apparent reluctance. As he entered the wine-shop he snorted, after the manner of gas-men, "Where's de leak?" "You find-a da leak," grunted Albano. "What-a you get-a pay for? You want-a me do your work?" "Well, half a dozen o' you wops get out o' here, that's all. D'youse all wanter be blown ter pieces wid dem pipes and cigarettes?
It is hard work to get a new idea into the mind of a man who is encased in a shell of ignorance or prejudice, but the salesman is worse than bad-mannered who lets another man, whoever he is, know that he thinks his religion is no good, that his political party is rotten, that his country is not worth a cancelled postage stamp, and that the people of his race are "frogs," "square-heads," "dagos," "wops," or "kikes."
So now we begin we stop all our fighting we take out this boat all our comrades on board! No coons, no niggers, no sheenies, no wops! Fellow workers I tell you the name of our boat! The Internationale!" The little man's speech was greeted with a sudden roar of applause. For the crowd had seen at once this danger of race hatred and was eager to put it down.
Mebbe I can't tell people so now, like they believe me; it's hard to believe I want Germans whipped good if I don't hate 'em, but it's true and lots others besides me. They come in my place, Dagoes, Wops, Hunnyacks, Swedes, Jews, every breed, and what you think they keep talkin' about what us Americans had ought to do to lick Germany. It's funny, yes?
His pleasure was abruptly quenched. John, placing a firm hand on his collar, led him to the top of the stairs and pushed him down. "Beat it," he said. The rent-collector watched these things with a puzzled eye. He now turned to John. "Say, seen anything of the wops that live here?" he enquired. "My name's Gooch. I've come to take the rent." John nodded.
Nor are Wops, Guineas, Polacks, smelling of garlic, looking at one with unintelligent eyes, and clattering to one another in strange tongues, such workfellows as make the day pass more quickly.... Bonbright had to pass down a certain number of axles an hour.
"Oh yes; that's what they all say! But I notice that Hitchcock and George M. Cohan go on drawing big audiences every night yes, and the swellest, best-dressed, smartest people in New York and Brooklyn, too it's in the gallery at the opera that you find all these Wops and Swedes and Lord knows what-all.
What license have we in that neck of woods? I told him to take a ride over the Williamsburg bridge and that would give him all the Europe he wanted. "He wants to go over there and bring back a couple of big vaudeville acts and make a bunch of money. Rats, I tell him, rats. What does he know about vaudeville acts? Some of these wops that go across never get it out of their systems.
"Yes, I know," said Aleck, beginning to move onward past the man; "but it wasn't a jelly-fish that stung my face." "Wasn't it now? Yer don't mean it was a bee or wops?" "No, Ness; it was a blackguard's fist." "Why, yer don't mean to say yer been fighting, do 'ee?" "Yes, I do, Ness. Going to finish the celery trench?" "Yes, sir; but the ground's mighty hard. Hot wuck, that it is.
You've got to hit 'em on the head with some sort of a club or big stick if you want to bring 'em to time. You have to club them to death at the polls, so to speak. Now, you take these wops. They can't argue. They haven't got that sort of intelligence. They're considerably like the common or garden variety of dog.
