The Striker

Scene—A dining room in a workman's home. Plain but scrupulously neat and clean. Door L leads to kitchen. Door R leads to front door. Mrs. Quinn is seated at centre table darning socks and talking to her neighbor, Mrs. Martin.

Mrs. Martin—(Dropping a few pennies into a purse, and shutting it with a snap.) Seven weeks, and not one cent coming in. I don't know how we'll live, if it keeps up much longer.

Mrs. Quinn—A strike's a bitter thing Mrs. Martin, and no one knowin' how it will end.
