GERALD. You think Labour's in a funny state, do you? What do you think it wants? What do you think, personally?
JOB ARTHUR. Well, in my own mind, I think it wants a bit of its own back.
GERALD. And how does it mean to get it?
JOB ARTHUR. Ha! that's not so easy to say. But it means to have it, in the long run.
GERALD. You mean by increasing demands for higher wages?
JOB ARTHUR. Yes, perhaps that's one road.
GERALD. Do you see any other?
JOB ARTHUR. Not just for the present.
GERALD. But later on?
JOB ARTHUR. I can't say about that. The men will be quiet enough for a bit, if it's all right about the office men, you know.
