Neither was Sitka Charley. All three were frightful-looking. There was no flesh to their faces; their cheekbones were massed with hideous scabs which had cracked and frozen alternately under the intense frost; while their eyes burned luridly with the light which is born of desperation and hunger. Men so situated, beyond the pale of the honor and the law, are not to be trusted.
"We've done nothing yet," said Doggett, "and till we had, the troops oughtn't to have been called in." "And now people say that the scabs are to be given a regimental escort to the depot, and will go to work at eight." "We've been quiet till now," growled a man in the crowd surlily, "but we won't stand the militia protecting the scabs and rats."
Why can't you disperse quietly and go to your homes? What do you want here, anyway?" "Scabs!" yelled a voice, followed by a savage yell from the crowd. "Men," said the Chief sharply, "you know me. I want this street cleared. I shall return here in five minutes and anyone seeking to stop me will do so at his own risk.
So this was picketing! Myra spoke softly as they turned and walked west. "Have many of the girls been arrested?" "Oh yes, a lot of them." "Have they been disorderly?" "Some of them have. It's hard to keep cool, with scabs egging you on and calling you cowards." "And what happens to them if they are arrested?" "Oh, fined five, ten dollars."
What's the good of knockin' the blocks off of scabs when they keep a-comin' thick as ever? The whole thing's bughouse, an' I guess I am, too." Such an outburst on Billy's part was so unusual that it was the only time Saxon knew it to occur. Always he was sullen, and dogged, and unwhipped; while whisky only served to set the maggots of certitude crawling in his brain.
A fresh shower of office chairs and filing cabinets descended. The mob had broken through on one side the line of waggons, and was advancing, each segregated policeman the centre of a fighting group. The scabs were torn from their seats, the traces of the horses cut, and the frightened animals put in flight.
The inevitable result is that they form a favorable nucleus out of which scabs, blacklegs, detectives, and policemen are drawn, only too willing to do the master's bidding. Thus organized labor, by its foolish opposition to work in prison, defeats its own ends. It helps to create poisonous fumes that stifle every attempt for economic betterment.
Did ye hear about the Fertilizer Company's layin' off two of our men las' Friday just fer bein' off a day or so without leave, and their gittin' a couple of scabs from Hoboken to" "What else do we git?" said Tom, in a quick, imperious tone, ignoring the digression. She had moved a step closer. Crimmins looked slyly up into her eyes.
Janet's blood ran faster, she grew excited, absorbed, bolder as she perceived the apologetic attitude of the "scabs" and she began to despise them with Gemma's heartiness; and soon she had lost all sense of surprise at finding herself arguing, pleading, appealing to several women in turn, fluently, in the language of the industrial revolution.
Treatment Regulation of diet, green vegetables, fruit if he will take it, brushing and grooming, but never roughly. Try for worms and for fleas. The name is not a happy one as applied to the usual itching skin disease of dogs. Eczema proper is an eruption in which the formed matter dries off into scales or scabs, and dog eczema, so-called, is as often as not a species of lichen.
