"Where do these samples come from, sir?" he asked, apparently deeply interested.
"From a new mine over in Michigan. I am interested in the mine and I thought you would be interested in the ore we take from it."
"Yes, sir."
"We have some ideal conditions in the mine. Our men are better paid and have shorter hours than you men have up here. You work ten hours here, while our men work only eight."
"Yes, sir."
"I presume that you would like to have shorter hours and get more money at the same time, would you not?"
"That depends," replied Rush evasively.
"Upon what?"
"Oh, it depends upon several things. In what way do you accomplish this in your new copper mine?"
