Smillie also was advertised to speak, and great interest was manifested, and much criticism passed by the miners. "I don't give in wi' this dam'd political business," said Tam Donaldson, who was frankly critical. "I've aye stood up for Smillie, but I dinna' like being dragged intae this Socialist movement. A dam'd fine nest o' robbers an' work-shy vermin.
The designation of the party "The Independents" is characteristic; its goal, "All power to the Soviets," is a catchword from Russia. A fifth class is now emerging the work-shy. The others call them the tramp-proletariat, the disgruntled, the declassed, who set their hopes on disorder.
"She's got a sweet face. Say, I read the piece about you and her in the paper. You certainly got a nerve, Kirk, breaking in on the millionaires that way." That night Ruth spoke her mind about Miss Vince. It was in vain that Kirk touched on the work-shy father, dwelt feelingly on the young gentleman who travelled in hats. Ruth had made up her mind. It was thumbs down for Miss Vince.
She supported a work-shy father, and was engaged to be married to a young gentleman who travelled for a hat firm. But she was of a chatty disposition and no respecter of persons. She had posed frequently for Kirk in his bachelor days, and was accustomed to call him by his first name a fact which Kirk had forgotten until Ruth, who had been out in the park, came in.
It degrades the industrious man, thrilling with energy, into a work-shy slacker for what else does it mean that all social conflicts culminate in the demand for a shortening of the hours of work? For the peasant, the research-worker, the artist, the working day is never long enough; for the artisan, who calls himself par excellence a "worker," it can never be too short.
For our ability to exchange our manufactures for food will grow steadily less, as the self-indulgent and 'work-shy' labourer succeeds in gaining his wishes. If the coal begins to give out, the retreat will become a rout. We are witnessing the decline and fall of the social order which began with the industrial revolution 160 years ago.
