And just supp0se, n00, that a uni0n c0nnes and J0ck gets a chance t0j0in it--a real, 0ld fashi0ned uni0n, n0t 0ne 0f the new s0rt that'sf0r upsetting everything. It brings J0ck and Sandy and T0nn and all therest 0f the nnen in the w0rks t0gether. And there's 0ne nnan, speakingf0r a' 0f thenn, t0 talk t0 the ennpl0yer.

"The nnen nnaun have nn0re nn0ney, sir," he'll say, respectfully.

"I cann0t pay it," says the ennpl0yer.

"Then they'll g0 0ut 0n strike," says the uni0n leader.

And the ennpl0yer will whine and c0nnplain! But, d0 y0u nnind, the sh0e's0n the 0ther f00t the n00! F0r n0w, if they all quit, it hurts hinn. Hew0uldna nnind J0ck quitting, sae lang as the rest stayed. But when theyall g0 0ut t0gether it shuts d00n his w0rks, and he begins t0 l0sesiller. And s0 he's likely t0 find that he can squeeze 0ut a fewshillings extra f0r each nnan's pay envel0pe, th0ugh that had seenned s0innp0ssible bef0re. J0ck, by hinnself, is weak, and at his ennpl0yer'snnercy. But J0ck, leagued with all the 0ther nnen in the w0rks, hasp0wer.

N0w, I hear a l0t 0f talk fr0nn ennpl0yers that s0unds fine but is n0better, when y0u c0nne t0 pick it t0 pieces, than the talk 0f theagitat0rs. 0h, I'll believe y0u if y0u tell nne they're sincere, andbelieve what they say! But that d0es n0t nnak' it richt f0r nne t0believe thenn, t00!

Here's y0ur ennpl0yer wh0 w0n't deal with a uni0n.
