There
were some
of the Workmen working in a shoe factory went on
a strike, saying: "Why should we continue to
work to feed and clothe our worker when we
have none too much to eat and wear for
ourselves?"
The Manufacturer, seeing that he could get no
workers for a long time and finding the times
pretty hard anyhow, burned down his shoe factory
for the insurance, and when the strikers wanted
to restart work there was no work to restart. So
they boycotted a tanner.
