The Belly and the Members
|
SOME Workingmen employed in a shoe factory went on a strike,
saying: 'Why should we continue to work to feed and clothe our
employer when we have none too much to eat and wear ourselves?'
The Manufacturer, seeing that he could get no labour for a long
time and finding the times pretty hard anyhow, burned down his shoe
factory for the insurance, and when the strikers wanted to resume
work there was no work to resume. So they boycotted a tanner.
