T-S,
and also to Mary Magna."
It took the man sometime to figure out a reply to this proposition.
"We have no objection to Mr. T-S coming here," he said, "or Miss
Magna either."
"That is," said I, "so long as they obey the law, and don't get in
bad with the Western City 'Times'!" After a moment I added, "You may
make your mind easy. I will go downstairs and wait for Mr.
Carpenter, and tell him he is not wanted."
And so I left the Labor Temple and walked up and down on the
sidewalk in front. It was really rather unreasonable of me to be
annoyed with this labor man for having voiced the same point of view
of "common sense" which I had been defending to Carpenter's group on
the previous evening. Also, I was obliged to admit to myself that if
I were a labor leader, trying to hold together a group of
half-educated men in the face of public sentiment such as existed in
this city, I might not have the same carefree, laughing attitude
towards life as a certain rich young man whose pockets were stuffed
with unearned increments.
