It was Cheetham himself, Bayne knew he was in the office, and had run for him in mortal terror, and sent him to keep the peace. "They insult me, sir," said Henry; "though I am always civil to them; and that grinder refuses to grind my blades, there." "Is that so? Step out, my lad. Did you refuse to grind those blades?" "Ay," said the greyhound-man sullenly.
Parkin, and he assured me that he came to the same terms with you as I did. He says he intimated politely, but plainly, that he should expect you not to make any more carving-tool handles for Mr. Cheetham, till his committee had received your proposal. He now joins me in advising you to strike work for the present.
Among the editorial celebrities of 1803, James Cheetham, in New York, was almost as famous as Duane of the "Aurora." Cheetham, like many of his contemporaries, Gray, Carpenter, Callender, and Duane himself, was a British subject. He was a hatter in his native land; but a turn for politics ruined his business and made expatriation convenient.
Cheetham knew as much about it as they did. Not a single hot or uncivil word was spoken on either side. The game had been played too often for that, and with results too various. One or two even expressed a sort of dogged regret. The grinder Reynolds, a very honest fellow, admitted, to Mr.
Grotait. At noon the next day, all the grinders aforesaid in Mr. Cheetham's employ walked into the office, and left, each of them, a signed paper to this effect: "This is to give you notice that I will leave your service a week after the date thereof." Cheetham asked several of them what was up. Some replied civilly, it was a trade matter. Others suggested Mr.

These things are threatened fifty times, for once they are done." "I shall not risk it. My own skin, if you like. But not hers: never, Mr. Cheetham: oh, never; never!" "Well, but," said Mr.
When they came round to the chancel, suddenly there was a rattle, and a tremendous rush of some huge thing that made a cold wind, and blew out the light. Henry was appalled, and Cheetham dropped the lantern, and ran, yelling. And soon Henry heard his voice in the churchyard calling on him to come out. He did go out, and felt very much puzzled and alarmed.
"What sir?" faltered he, turning to Cheetham, "after all your experience!" then to Henry, "What, fight the Trades, after the lesson they have given you?" "I'll fight them all the more for that," said Henry, grinding his teeth; "fight them till all is blue." "So will I. That for the Trades!" "Heaven help you both!" groaned Bayne, and looked the picture of despair.
I'll meet craft with craft, and force with force." "What can you do against ten thousand? No; go you at once to the Secretary of the Edge-Tool Grinders, and get your trade into his Union. You will have to pay; but don't mind that. Cheetham will go halves." "I'll go at dinner-time." "And why not now?"
