Wait till you've seen yourwife brought home to you with the face you used to kiss smashed in by ahorse's hoof--killed by the Trust, as it happened to me. Then talk aboutmoderation! And you, Dyke, black-listed engineer, discharged employee, ruined agriculturist, wait till you see your little tad and your motherturned out of doors when S. Behrman forecloses. Wait till you see 'emgetting thin and white, and till you hear your little girl ask you whyyou all don't eat a little more and that she want...s her dinner and youcan't give it to her. Wait till you see--at the same time thatyour family is dying for lack of bread--a hundred thousand acres ofwheat--millions of bushels of food--grabbed and gobbled by the RailroadTrust, and then talk of moderation. That talk is just what the Trustwants to hear. It ain't frightened of that. There's one thing only itdoes listen to, one thing it is frightened of--the people with dynamitein their hands, --six inches of plugged gaspipe. THAT talks. " Dyke did not reply.
