"Blackleg" has become so familiar In
its special labor application that this
is now more common even than the
use Of the word in its original sense.
But labor so far has not shortened
"blackleg" to "leg," as the sporting
world has in speaking of sharpers.
How "blackleg' came by its swindling
significance is a puzzle which even an
argument before the fun court Of
queens bench in a libel case failed TO
solve. 1t has been traced to the for
mer habit among turf frequenters OF
wearing black topboots. but others
have seen an allusion 10 the legs Of
gamecocks. Trades unionism adopted
It simply as a term OF abuse, like
scab."-London Chronicle.
