DEFINITION OF A "SGAB."
THE STRIKERS' IDEA.
The following choice description of the free laborer, or, as he is termed by the striker, . 'the scab," aopears in a recent issue of the ' Strike Bulletin' "After, God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad,, and the vampire, he had some awful substiance left with which he made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal, with a corkscrew soul, a water-logged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue.' Where other people have their hearts'he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When the scab comes* down the .street honest men turn their backs, the angels weep tears in heaven, and'the Devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out. No man has a right to scab' as long as there is a nool of water deep enough to drown'his body in, or a rope loner enough to hang his carcase with.: Judas Iscariot was a; gentleman compared'with a scab, for, after betraying, his Master, he had character enough to hang himself, but a scab has not," ~
