Sashes will do for you boys, and I'll have, well, I'll fix up a rig of some kind." Marjorie was a diligent little worker when she chose to be, and that afternoon she made a very creditable flag, showing a pail, red; on a field, yellow. She made also sashes for them all, of red and yellow cheesecloth, and she made herself a court train of the same material, which trailed grandly from her shoulders.
The worker must work for the glory of his handiwork, not simply for pay; the thinker must think for truth, not for fame.
And still, although there was nothing for us but bed and machine, we could not earn enough to take care of ourselves through the slack season." It is significant to compare with the account of these ill-paid operatives, exhausted from speeding, the chronicle of a skilled worker in a belt-factory, Theresa Luther, earning $17 a week.
The house worker who is earning twenty-five, thirty or thirty-five dollars a month can easily save two hundred dollars in a year, and a number of them do so. Girls in other paid employments, who pay board and lodging, washing, and carfare out of ten or twelve dollars a week, are practically unable to save anything.
François Mairet was not quite forty years old when he met with an obscure death in the trenches. He was one of the foremost French biologists, an unpretending scholar and hard worker, a patient spirit. But celebrity was assured to him before long, though he was in no haste to welcome the meretricious charmer, as her favours have to be shared with too many wire-pullers.
So Max by degrees dumped all this down after the first lot. "Now to set it going," he remarked. "You seem to be having a bully old time up there all by your lonely," said Steve, half enviously. "Oh, I'm a cheerful worker," Max replied. He had arranged some of the best of the stuff so that after applying a match he could send it down upon the top of all that had gone before.
The father and his three tall sons, all strong and skilled in farm labour, could have managed everything by themselves; if they continued to employ Legare and to pay him wages it was because he had entered their service eleven years before, when the children were young, and they kept him now, partly through habit, partly because they were loth to lose the help of so tremendous a worker.
It shocks you, because you don't understand, because you've never had to plough the row I've toiled along. . . . I'm not as bad as I seem." She picked up her work to cover the beating of her heart. "If you're out of sympathy " "But I'm not out of sympathy," he interrupted earnestly. "I'm a Worker of the World, and always will be.
The worker has no means of comparison; hence his bottomless contempt for intellectual work, the results of which he recognizes, but which, in regard to the labour it costs, he puts on a level with the idling of the folk whom he sees strolling or driving about with their lapdogs in the fashionable streets.
It is indeed highly probable that the "unemployed" worker is on the average morally and industrially inferior to the "employed," and from the individual point of view this inferiority is often responsible for his non-employment. But this only means that differences of moral and industrial character determine what particular individuals shall succeed or fail in the fight for work and wages.
