" Seventy-five, eighty-five, ninety hours a week; there is no limit to the hours you may work a shop-assistant. Look down one of the shops in a late shopping thoroughfare, think of the glare, the vitiated atmosphere, the petty tyrrany of one hand over another, provoked by the example of the master tyrant himself; the little jealousies and paltry rivalries, the mob of motley people crowding up to the counter, the hopelessness, the pallid faces, the heat. Or go in. You grow tired and dispirited m...erely waiting your turn to be served, but they have to endure for fourteen hours on end on a diet of " skilly and mock Irish stew " for nothing for nothing but the permission to live, when death itself were preferable, if only they could make up their minds. Caught in the meshes of this deadly system, whose web is designed with fiendish precision to break their spirits utterly and disaffect them with each other, the young and generous lad becomes in course of time soured and silent, the naturally coarse and ungentle, brutalised and vicious ; whilst all are indiscriminately hustled and bustled from one master to another from one year's end to another, till at last, with all the sap of youth squeezed out of them, they limp away out of sight, good for nothing but to spend the remainder of their days at occasional odd jobs, and their nights heaven knows where.
