But he decided to answer.

"The men say that with partial work, and fines, and other things, they get sometimes a dollar, and sometimes ninety cents a day." "They lie, and you know they lie," said his father, rising and coming toward him.

"And what do you think the upshot of it all will be, after they've ruined business for another week, and made people hire hacks, and stolen the money of honest men?
How is it going to end ?" "They will have to give in." "Oh, give in, heigh! And what will you say then, I should like to know?
How will you feel about it then?
Speak!" "I shall feel as I do now.

I know you don't think that way, and I don't blame you--or anybody.

But if I have got to say how I shall feel, why, I shall feel sorry they didn't succeed, for I believe they have a righteous cause, though they go the wrong way to help themselves." His father came close to him, his eyes blazing, his teeth set.
