Only that morning, and she shuddered with the recollection, she had seen two scabs, on their way to work, beaten up by the strikers, by men she knew by sight, and some by name, who lived in the neighhorhood. It had happened directly across the street. It had been cruel, terrible a dozen men on two.
"But he intends to crush the strike, and I understand he's importing scabs here to finish out an order a big order. If it weren't for him, we'd have an easier fight; he stiffens up the others. There's always one man like that, in every place. And what we want to do is to make him shut down, especially." "I see," said Janet. "You'll come to Headquarters?" Rolfe repeated.
At that moment the mob set up a howl. "For shame! For shame! Unfair! Don't go in there! They starve their workers! They're taking the bread out of our mouths! Scabs! Scabs!"
I drew back from them as they passed, for to me too they were "scabs" that night. Afraid to face the men outside, whose jobs they had taken, these strike-breakers were to live on the dock, under cover of police. Soon half of them lay snoring on long crowded rows of cots. Food and hot coffee were served to the rest.
The steam-jets had none to man them. Far aloft, a last explosion told the death story of the final épervier. Here and there, from windows and corners of the wrecked and blazing plant, a little intermittent firing still continued; but now the hearts of these Air Trust defenders scabs, thugs and scourings of the slum had turned to water, in face of the triumphant army of the working class.
What's the matter, you dissentious rogues, That rubbing the poor itch of your opinion, Make yourselves scabs. First Cit. We have ever your good word. Mar. In that will give good words to thee, will flatter Beneath abhorring. What would you have, you curs, That like nor peace, nor war? the one affrights you, The other makes you proud.
Most of the camels were turned out at once to graze off the unappetizing-looking thorns, sparse and dusty, that peppered the field of view like scabs on a yellow skin.
I have a yearling heifer which is in fine condition and making good growth. But all four of her teats have sores on them and are mostly covered with scabs. It is probably cow pox. Give a physic of glauber and epsom salts mixed 4 ounces of each to the heifer and double the dose to the cow.
Gibney spoke: "Scraggs, be reasonable. We ain't lookin' for trouble; not because we don't relish it, for we do where a couple o' scabs is concerned, but for the simple reason that we ain't in the best o' condition to receive it, although if you force it on us we'll do our best.
"Speak up loud, sonny," shouted a man far back in the mass, "we all want to hear." Colonel Stirling's voice rang quite clear enough, "Votes be damned!" he said, and turning on his heel, strode back past the sentries. And the strikers knew the fate of their attempt to keep out the scabs. Colonel Stirling's "damn" had damned the strike as well as the votes.
