:18:04
- Yes.
- They did not give you the real reason.
:18:07
We've been expecting it since
the ironworks at Dowlais closed down.
:18:11
What have the ironworks to do with us?
:18:13
The men from Dowlais will work for any
wage, so all our wages must come down.
:18:17
And this is only the beginning. Watch now.
:18:21
They will cut us again and still again, until
they have this as empty as their promises.
:18:27
- A good worker is worth good wages.
- Not while there are three men for every job.
:18:32
Why should the owners pay more
if men will work for less?
:18:35
Because the owners are not savages.
They are men too, like us.
:18:39
Men, yes, but not like us.
:18:41
Would they deal with you just now, sir,
when you went to them?
:18:44
- No.
- Because they have power and we have none.
:18:47
- How will we get power, then? From the air?
- No. From a union of all the men.
:18:52
Union, is it? I never thought I'd hear
my own sons talking socialist nonsense.
:18:58
- It's good sense.
- Unless we stand together...
:19:01
- I've had enough of this talk.
- But, Father, it does...,
:19:08
Come and wash now.
:19:11
Your good mother will be waiting.
:19:35
Do you think I'll let them make you stand
in the rain and not raise my hands to stop it?
:19:40
Hush, Davy.
:19:43
- Who gave you permission to speak?
- It is too important for silence.
:19:46
- They're trying to punish you because...
- It is not more important than good manners.
:19:52
But what are we going to do about it?
You'll die of cold when it comes to snow.
:19:56
Let us stand together
and see how they act then.
:19:59
Right. The men will come out
if we say the word.
