[Mary Minds Her Business by George Weston]@TWC D-Link bookMary Minds Her Business CHAPTER XXVII 6/34
They're going to try to have a boycott declared, so that no union man will handle Spencer bearings, the teamsters won't truck them, the railways won't ship them, the metal workers and mechanics won't install them, and no union man will use a tool or a machine that has a Spencer bearing in it.
That's their program.
That's what they are going to try to do." From over the distance came the memory of Ma'm Maynard's words: "I tell you, Miss Mary, it has halways been so and it halways will: Everything that lives has its own natural enemy--and a woman's natural enemy--eet is man!" "No, sir!" said Mary to herself, as resolutely as ever, "I don't believe it.
They're trying to gain their point--that's all--the same as I'm trying to gain mine....
But aren't they fighting hard when they do a thing like that...!" It came to her then with a sharp sense of relief that no organization--no union--could well afford to boycott products simply because they were made by women.
