Good evening, sir. Good evening, Mr. Barlow. Er--did you want anybody at the office, sir? We're just closing. (GERALD: No, I didn't want anybody.) Oh, no, sir. I see. Er--by the way, sir--er--I hope you don't think this--er--bother about an increase--this strike threat--started in the office? (GERALD: Where did it start?) I should think it started--where it usually starts, Mr. Barlow--among a few loud-mouthed people who think they can do as they like with the men. They're only using the office men as a cry--They've no interest in us. They want to show their power.--That's how it is, sir.
