Foote.
"This Dulac was seen, Mr. Foote, with reference to the strike. He's a
fanatic. Nothing could be done with him. He actually offered violence
to our agent who attempted to show him how it would be to his benefit
to--to be less energetic. We offered him--"
"I don't care to hear what we offered him. Such details are
distasteful, Rangar. That's what I hire you for, isn't it?"
"Yes, sir. ... Anyhow, Mr. Foote, he couldn't be bought."
"Yes. ... Yes. Well, we'll have to continue along the lines we've
been following. They have been not unsuccessful."
"True enough. It's just a question of time now. It might do some
good, Mr. Foote, to have the rumor get about that we wouldn't take
back any men who did not apply for reinstatement before the end of
next week. ... There's considerable discontent, due largely to
insufficient nourishment. Yes, we can lay it to that, I imagine. It's
this man Dulac that holds the strike together. If only every laboring
man had a dozen babies there'd be less strikes," Rangar finished, not
exactly callously, but in a matter-of-fact way.
