Definition OF a Scab!
"At conspiracy trial in England, the
prosecuting counsel. gave the following
definition Of q scab: A scsb is to his trade
is what traitor is to his country and though
both may be useful in Troublesome times,
they are detested when peace return, alike
by all. So, when help is needed "A scab Is the
last to contribute assistance and the first
tegrasp q benefit he never labered to pro-
cure; he cares only for himself, he
sees not beyoud the extent of q day,
and for monetary and worthless
appreciation he would betray friends,
family and country; in short, he is a
traitor on a small scale who first sells the
journeyman, and Is himself afterward
sold in his turn by his employer, until at
last he is despised by both, and is de-
serted by all. He is an enemy to himself,
to the present age and to posterity."
Following the definition the circular
contains q list Of the men and women
that the strikers consider
scabs. 1t Is an outrageous
document, and illustrates to what despi-
