In half an hour, Or less than that, there'll be a lot of men Come from the station, the force I'm bringing in, Guarded by soldiers; then, if I guess right, The Union--they'll be crowding here for work, Wanting to go to work, you understand, But with their eye on Williams. He'll say 'No.' But there's another faction will say 'Yes.' (HARVEY ANDERSON: And while they're balanced----) That's just what I want. You've got a good cool head, and you know men. And then you have a way of putting things.
