...other union man went so far. But even in unions involved in strikes, leaders were careful to renew lip service to their "no strike" pledge, although their eyes sometimes gave the go-ahead wink to strikers.

They have got all the tragic elements essential to the human lot to contend with; time and death and bereavement and unrequited affection and dissatisfaction with themselves. But they have not got the elements of consolation and encouragement that ought normally to renew their hopes or restore their self-respect. They have not got vision or conviction, or the mastery of their work, or the loyalty of their household, or any form of human dignity. Even the latest Utopians, the last lingering representatives of that fated and unfortunate race, do not really promise...
