Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


Coming down Geary Street were six meat waggons. Beside each scab
driver sat a policeman. Front and rear, and along each side of
this procession, marched a protecting escort of one hundred police.
Behind the police rearguard, at a respectful distance, was an
orderly but vociferous mob, several blocks in length, that
congested the street from sidewalk to sidewalk. The Beef Trust was
making an effort to supply the hotels, and, incidentally, to begin
the breaking of the strike. The St. Francis had already been
supplied, at a cost of many broken windows and broken heads, and
the expedition was marching to the relief of the Palace Hotel.
