"Now it is one we want to have properly" "That's all" "I thought perhaps I might get out of it this year maybe for the down payment on a car" "but there would still be setting forwards next year" "And we've been stuck this time ever since we were married so a bit longer is not going to kill us" "What does it feel like,boy or a girl?" "Just feels like a baby" "They can tell now, you know, tell about the heart beat rate" "You're so funny sometimes, you do not know how funny you are" "You just sit here and think about that while I get you a cup of tea" "Want to know,darling?" "Hey,Marianne,I'm talking to you" "What are you looking at, grand dad,you better get inside the first time it starts you miss the big picture" "Stupid old kid" "Where you going,Ed?" "Going down the park?" "Staring at us he better watch it" "Oh,Mick said he would be down at park with a couple of scrubbers" "Brian" "This is D day isn't it?" "You're right boy,starting the countdown" "Come on,daddy,daddy" "OK.I hope you can pay it more than I did" "Who are you giving a tour today?" "Nobody you know of" "Who is he trying to kid is that the new tart in the pay office" "Old Mick had a go,she don't want to know" "What do you want to do then?" "How do you mean?" "We can't just lie here all day, not talking and nothing" "I don't mind talking" "You know what I mean" "Look,what do you think I'm going to do to you tear your clothes off, throw you in the bushes or something" "Do you think I'm out of the News of the World stag?" "I know I've been out with girls before but this doesn't make me Jack the Ripper,does it?" "I don't know what you are thinking having said nothing since we've been here" "I mean we could have sold the petrol stay down and gone to church or something really lived it up" "Well so far as I forced it to come is it?" "Only asked you in front of about fifty other people" "I mean it was real intimate?" "I don't know" "Shall I tell you something?" "Yes,surprise me,you're married with three children" "You try too hard" "What do you mean,try too hard?" "Listen,if I was trying hard I'll get somewhere,wouldn't I?" "Believe me I'm not trying just like teases" "Who is teasing you?" "The guy is going to all end,usually" "What's the matter?" "Do you really want to know?" "Yeah" "From what I hear you've been out with everything on two legs wearing lipstick and over age then you go to pub with them in the family way and you didn't do anything about it?" "I was told the first day I took the job, you were the one to watch out for" "I saw you coming before you saw me and when I saw you" "I didn't care what you've done or what I've heard because you looked nice" "And I thought I'd like to go out with you if you asked me,you did ask me" "I still feel that way" "But it doesn't mean I'm going to be like all the rest or you're going to get it the first time because I want something more than that" "If you can't give it to me better to know right away so we don't waste each other's time" "I see.Yes I see" "That's just about wraps it up then,didn't it?" "Coming?" "Bread and drivvy, mate, bread and scrape we just to call it that's what we used to have it for years,brought up on it" "My old man led the hunger march down to London" "That was a child to be allowed, believe me" "The workers were ready to get over there" "Oh yes,Ben, about this next meeting,though, can't have any slip-ups" "Stuck that grubby rizzy, aren't you eating yours?" "Sorry can't have any of what?" "I mean if necessary you have to rig it" "Rig it?" "What the media?" "How do you mean.." "Now,I didn't mean it rig it exactly,just a figure of speech" "The point is,the rest of them look for you to guidance" "Can't think for themselves" "Yes,that's true" "So you have to give them that guidance" "Now put it to them in a way they can understand but it is no good telling them everything,only confuses people" "Yeah,I see" "Meeting will start" "Meeting will start" "What about?" "If you spend a little less time on the football pitch,you'd know" "I want everybody there" "Shut the door,will you" "I gather that you are not satisfied with the management's answer this morning" "I can't discuss union business" "No,of course not.Just that I'm the interested party wanted to find out the facts" "Have you read the demands we've put in?" "Yes,that's right I did.Of course I did" "Let's forget about those for a moment and talk about the real facts" "It shan't be funny" "You know me,Bert,I've never have time to be funny" "I just want to know what it is all about" "I've told you I can't discuss confidential union matters" "All right,I'll discuss them for you." "I'm not a funny man but I can spot a joke when I see one" "You are not contemplating coming out because there is no toilet paper in the box" "That was one of then things,wasn't it?" "Inadequate sanitary arrangements" "Look,Bert,I didn't get this job by going around knocking you chaps over the head" "I worked out there once remember" "I used to knock off the sites myself" "At least you got toilet seats now but in my days we didn't even have toilets" "That's was your day" "I know what your real beef is,Bert" "You want to closed shop,don't you?" "Maybe you are right but this is no way go about,this is not that sort of a factory" "Nobody is getting hurt, Martindale is not carving you up like some we could think of, everybody gets their share of work" "If you want it,come and say so, don't hide behind a smoke screen you'll get our closed shop all right, you close the place down for good" "Look I'm not prepared to discuss it" "You are not prepared to discuss it now,that's that ain't it?" "I am busy" "Nice turn up" "What's you're going to vote for,Gladys" "Quiet and drop that Gladys" "I'm asking you what's you going to vote?" "I do not know.What's all about then?" "Are you in favour of the mixed management between the Scotch and the English ?" "I've no knowing on that" "Eddie,are we getting paid when we come out?" "No,unofficial" "What's the time of it?" "What are we waiting for" "Silence" "At the last meeting, a decision was taken to elect the work's committee to represent you in dealings with the management" "That decision was taken in a democratic fashion by majority of brothers present" "I'd like to read to you the official minutes of that meeting" "That Connolly again?" "How is he suddenly sponge of the floor, can't know his arse from his elbow" "Here's the bottle" "Beats me why they didn't get organized" "We managed here well enough for 30 years" "Times have changed you know" "They changed this much" "I'm paying more tax and losing business end of the fished" "Lost four orders to Germany already this year" "Well,we got to let them back feet again, after all they lost the war" "Don't be so bloody clever" "This beer is flat too" "How serious is that?" "Depends how you look at it" "Well,what is he really after?" "Closed shop?" "Yeah" "That's about it" "He can forget that,only one union worth bothering about that's the work union,of which I'm a founder member" "That crew down there they never get organised" "And since the management has chosen to disregard our main demands we must take stronger action" "What sort of actions?" "I therefore call on brother Matthews to put the resolution to you" "Mr Chairman,brothers,the work's committee moved.." "Propose" "We propose a resolution that if after a period of 24 hours from noon today our demands are not met we will withdraw our labour from the factory until such time as they are" "Order please,order" "Mr Chairman" "Order" "Who will second the resolution?" "Thank you,brother" "Mr Chairman" "Shut up,give him a chance" "Quiet,everybody,please" "Have you got something to say brother Arkwright?" "Yes.I have" "Right.Go ahead" "You all know me here" "Who are you?" "Sit down crippling" "I'm a working man, and that's more I can say of some people" "Sit down" "I've been through a few strikes, I mean real big strikes,and I'm telling you" "You won't go far unless you've right on your side" "Point of order ,brother,chair" "Yes,point of order" "Point of bloody nonsense" "I'm a union man and I don't stomach any messing about" "If you want a strike,strike with the union behind you" "We are all union men you know" "Well,start try to behave like it, never mind your big speeches" "Tell us what we live on while we are out" "What we'll live on?" "You heard me" "You heard him" "In reply,in reply to brother Arkwright's probably sincere" "But I promise you misguided remarks all I can say that in disputes of this kind sacrifices have to be made" "Answer the question" "Without further questions" "I call upon you to vote by a show of hands with the adoption of this resolution" "Those in favour" "What's you doing,Eddie?" "Ah,what's the odds,put your hands up" "Come on,you haven't got a family to support" "You're laughing" "Officially anyway" "This is an unofficial strike" "107" "Those against?" "Come on,hurry it up now" "39" "The voting was as follows those in favour107 those against 39 Majority in favour 68 the resolution is therefore carried and will put before the management this afternoon,I declare the meeting closed" "Good thing the wives don't come out on strike" "You would really feel it then" "You have to what they say?" "Yeah if they decided,you know" "No,you don't,not necessary" "Of course you do" "Why?" "I don't see it" "You can't run a factory on your own,can you?" "Who's talking about on your own" "Quite a few of us don't want to come out" "You know,all right,but I mean still bound to be a minority,aren't you?" "Still as I say I couldn't care less about any of it all that brother love,you can stick that" "The best thing is not to vote either way,let them get on with it" "I mean they will anyway,so what's the odds" "You coming down to pub?" "No,a few of us are getting together down the village for a bit of a chat" "All right.See you then" "Good Night Jim" "Oh,marvellous isn't he?" "Just marvellous,as long as he gets his beer,don't see,don't want to know" "Don't mind you and I don't mind both of you" "We used bad these years" "When?" "You know before we get married" "Why do you always have to come back to that,what you don't know" "Doesn't hurt me I know" "Were you?" "Oh yeah,worse,and I started learning, I wore a muzzle until I was fourteen" "A muzzle what's that?" "Scch.,not in front of the child,please" "What do you think about you layabout?" "He don't care" "How do you know he is a he?" "A she then" "It's all right for old Joe,he can afford to lose the money" "What are you talking about?" "This strike business" "I wouldn't mind if it was something about serious but" "But all things are storm in a tea cup" "I'm sorry but the answer is no" "That's not a final no,it is just he is not prepared to meet all your terms" "Right" "Don't before you jump right into" "Look at it.We heard it discussed,Mr Davis" "We got their answer now they can get ours" "All right,all right,let's move" "All right, we are going to speak to them,coming?" "Come on you lot" "Come on,let's get moving" "What can I do for you,Bill?" "Well,we had a bit of a talk together,we've been wondering supposing that there are some of us who still want to work" "How would it stands like?" "As far as I am concerned there is more guys than got the union package" "The gates will be open for anyone who wants to come in" "At least until you are locked out" "Are you ready to go boys?" "Get all their names" "Is this all of you Billy?" "Yes,Sir" "All right" "You're better get on with the routine maintenance" "I managed to scrape out a skeleton canteen staff so you get your dinners all right today but I don't know about tomorrow though" "So you better bring your own if you get to keep this up" "Yes,they would have kid to see us" "What's up?" "Right,Stirling Moss let you up" "What's this?" "Stirling Moss,hah hhah" "What's your place,Preston?" "I was in Sunderland last night, and then sent you" "It's the first I heard, what's going on then?" "Labour withdraw.This place is black" "Black,Charley,if it was enough today,no" "Pass it around when you get back" "All right,Charlie?" "I'm easy,get home early,for the best" "I know what I'll do" "Barrat?" "Come here" "I said come here" "Had the police phoning me this morning" "So?" "So I am warning you,I want this strike to stay clean,you understand" "When I need your help,I'll ask" "Just watch it,otherwise next time I'll tell the coppers with a look" "It's too bad way" "Who sent for the police,Billy?" "Getting scared?" "What do you think then Billy?" "I think we should turn it in." "I don't mind about myself but my Mrs is getting too old for this sort of caper" "Didn't sleep all night.They did another couple of windows,you know" "It's been an ailment to me, I'll tell you that much" "I agree.We are not getting anywhere,are we?" "What do you think Tom?" "I'm going with whatever you lot decide" "At least my windows were on the first floor, bleeding landlady got my brick" "We all agree then" "The management didn't want to know either" "Turn it in,hey,best really ain't it" "Goes out with me,I don't mind telling you" "I mean I'd ever scrapping the old with anybody" "But I'm worried of this one" "Been an eye opener to me,a real eye opener" "Thought you might have done something about it being home all day" "I never had it on" "Why don't you call a man in?" "I can't afford to,I know how to work the tube now" "Mrs Curtis,you there?" "What's the old cow want?" "I'll go and see" "Mrs Curtis" "Tell her to wait for her rent next week then it will shut her up" "There you are,someone to see you" "Who is it,Mrs Jackson?" "I don't know,do I,pressed the button bell" "It's me,Mrs Curtis,Bert Connolly" "Going to the door all night" "Did you want to see Tom?" "If I might" "Please,come up" "Sorry about the bell" "Bert Connolly" "Here?" "Come in,Mr Connolly" "I'm afraid the place is a bit of a mess" "That's all right I'm used to it" "Would you like some tea?" "Be very nice but only if you're making it" "Hi,Joe.Hi,Tom" "Come to see how the rich live" "What's the matter with the tube?" "The guarantee went" "Let's have a look,I am pretty good at fixing these things" "Here's your trouble" "Try it now" "Enjoy the rest Joe?" "Yes,makes change doesn't it?" "We could do with you on the picket line" "There you are" "Yes,zoom is perfect,isn't it?" "Thanks anyway" "Now what can I do for you?" "It seems that you already done it" "Old Billy tells me you decide to back us all up at last" "We've decided to stay away from work,yeah,that's right" "It's a pity you didn't do that from the beginning like our brother Joe here" "Yeah" "Pity all around isn't it" "Look,Tom,you know as well as I do, you got to go along the majority" "That's a democratic way" "And personally speaking I was very hurt to see you step out of line with them others" "Still that's all over now,we won't be at that again." "More people got to do now is to show a united front" "You've made a mistake,you've been big enough to admit it" "Only I would be the last person in the world to hold that against you" "I wouldn't come round here and threaten you with anything like that" "I am glad about that" "But I don't mind tell you I've had a bit of trouble with some of the boys down there" "The don't like scabbing.Some of them are talking of about getting caught rough" "Well it went a bit further than talking,didn't it?" "How do you mean?" "Have they set fire to any good cars lately?" "I don't know anything about that" "No,maybe not" "But I just to like to make one point" "I got a couple of kids in there fast asleep" "They were in there a night ago when the old mother Jackson downstairs could got a brick thrown in the window" "That wasn't meant for her that was meant for me" "But it could have come in there" "I'll tell you I know nothing about that" "Put it in another way,Bert" "You didn't get a brick through your window did you?" "What is that.." "I'm just telling you" "Anyone who interferes with my wife and kids and I'll start chucking a few bricks around" "So don't come here" "Nobody is coming Tom,don't get excited" "I'm not getting excited" "Only this is my home not the factory so don't you or anybody else forget it" "I joined your bloody strike,so you won, so what else do you want to say?" "I'm not saying anything,one way or another but what you want to remember in future you or any other blackleg,is that you won't get out of it this easy" "We got ways,maybe,we got ways, and I just mean broken windows" "You got what?" "That leave it.." "Look,I'd like to hear ways of what" "I'm just telling you for your own g.." "What are you telling me?" "Don't give me that lip,mate, not here, I pay the rent here" "You're very generous with your advice these days,aren't you?" "Tom" "Real generous, keep out of it, Annie,just keep out of it" "Come round here laying down the law" "But it's I'm not your law,Mr God All Mighty Connolly,mate" "And I decide whether I go back or not not because you tell me because I decide it,see" "So you can stick your advice, it don't mean a thing to me" "Doesn't it?" "We'll see about that.I'll have that some other time,Mrs Curtis,Good Night" "Coming here,telling me" "What's that wrong" "Nothing don't ask questions you don't understand what's about" "I've read and I'm not dead" "Joe,what do you think?" "We don't think any bloody thing" "You keep your big idle trap shut,don't you Joe?" "One of these days you are going to sit sour on that bench you're gonna split yourself right up the middle" "I'll tell you what you are going to face up to all of you" "I'll tell you the facts of life, you can't have it both ways" "Try in avail the trolley" "No,no go on" "No good breezing up here on your expense accounts and then behaving like lot of shocked parsons at a dirty postcard convention" "Don't get often a government contract every day,not on this sort of level" "It's the biggest deal we ever had the smell of and we can't even consider it until the men are back again" "So,to get them back again you got to make concessions" "Now,what the concessions amount to?" "Extra safety precautions,few new toilets and a face saver on the closed shop angle" "That will get the machines running again once that's back and back on overtime you won't hear any more" "You mean you hope you won't hear any more" "Now listen I know the men, believe me,so make up your minds" "If you want that contract you got to water your bear" "This is the Pakistan contract isn't it?" "Look here Alfie,why don't you get into your Bentley and pass yourself back to London" "It is past your bedtime.Pakistan?" "We finished that job last Christmas" "Very well why don't we take these other things whatever it is" "You'll have to teach him a lesson" "Then I mean a real lesson" "That is Curtis on his own" "What is his game?" "I have no idea" "Funny fellow" "My wife has never forgiven him for marrying that italian girl" "What's her name?" "Anna" "We brought her over here,you know, the best girl we ever had" "No,he is a funny fellow" "I don't like lone wolfs on either side" "I do not want Curtis is out to prove but he could have saved himself the trouble they'll all be back shortly" "I thought that would shake you" "Here another light" "I prepared a statement here for you to give to Connolly" "You'll see what I am getting at" "Yes,yes.Changes the whole set up" "Are you sure Marlin don't know which side its beds butted?" "Exactly I see be in the medic leathers" "How are you take it?" "I can handle Connolly.He is still firing the general strike" "Yes, amateur like" "Well that's it then." "I'll get them to go back and we can get them out again at the right moment" "You bet.Yeah" "Hello.Speaking" "Is that you Phil,I was going to get on to you" "What do you think about modern girl's offering,you can stick that cowry" "Accept?" "Yes but.." "I see,you've been on to London,have you?" "But it's not like them to take it all that easy,is it?" "No,but you see,London take the view that we don't ve.." "well the tube done very nicely so far" "Yeah,told me to tell you even out of these concessions don't amount very much it means Martindale seen the line" "That's it.They'll have to listen to you now" "Oh,the sooner the better,I should think" "Cal the meeting for tomorrow night" "Btw I have an idea about Curtis" "A bit naughty is he?" "Curtis?" "Yeah" "A pint of bitter,Bertie" "Do you mind?" "Take it easy" "Move over there" "Set the alarm for the morning" "Bitter" "Yes,we're going back" "Come on now,dear" "You're friend of Curtis,ain't you?" "That's right" "Then give him the message" "What message?" "Wait a minute" "Hey" "Hey,you lot,got your boots" "We'll see some oozing first" "Who said what?" "Don't give me that.We've all been there" "Over here" "Come on" "Did you hear someone speak lad?" "No,never heard nothing" "Never mind the jokes,come on" "All right,put that down there" "Down where?" "Ah,down there" "What are you playing, Gladys,you're being obstructive this morning" "Naughty girl" "Over here Bill" "You're late" "Am I?" "Now don't tell me I am giving you too much you need it now,you're expecting again" "Joe was telling me everybody was glad to be back today" "Was he?" "I'll bet old Martindale was pleased too,I know I were" "I was out shopping today,you should heard what then wives was saying" "You're very quiet tonight" "Am I?" "That's been a quiet day" "Come on have another" "No thanks,not when you're drowned" "What are you taking about?" "Can I have a word with you?" "Yeah,have a drink" "You know, a word with you" "All right," "Hi,don't run away" "In these shoes?" "Well,what's up?" "We were talking about Tom" "Were you?" "You know him better than anybody, will you,room with him,I mean so" "We were talking about the football side of it" "Yeah,we missed a couple of matches already,yes we've been out and that" "Yes,that's right.The point is who is going to run it now if Tom doesn't" "Well it's now if,is it?" "You mean,can't ignore a bloke all day for scabbing and kick a ball around with him after-hours" "There is no if" "No,that's right.Well,we have to sort it out,somehow" "Dick,do you mind if I bud in" "Look Joe,let's be honest" "Well,you're like me,I don't care what men does,you know religion and that" "I have got some very good friends,jews and that" "And politics,you know,well this is a special sort of situation" "Yeah,another .." "Look,do you mind if I just put what I want to say?" "Look Joe,I know Tom, and I agree with him in some ways but well we got the team to think of and season is under way but somebody ought to talk to him" "I'm only saying this for the good of the team in mind" "You want me to tell him,do you?" "Tell him" "Yeah,tell him" "What are you doing out of there,boy?" "My heart stopped" "That's it?" "Well,you have done very well get this far haven't you?" "You've done the trick anyway, it started again you must have shook it up like your watch" "Go on,back to bed,quick quick quick" "Sleep well" "What is it?" "Brian having a bad dream" "They don't even make any difference for them,do you?" "You never know what kids pick up" "See the doctor yet btw?" "There is plenty of time for that" "What else happened today?" "That's about it,they are not talking to me" "Didn't Joe talk to you?" "No" "You mean to say" "Who decides these things anyway" "What?" "Who decides" "The men decide" "What men?" "Just men,all of them" "You mean to tell me that they decide to treat you like" "I mean doesn't anybody get to know how stupid assaulting it" "I was not at the meeting so I don't know what was said" "Who thought of it,that's what I want to know" "The committee I suppose, Connolly and that lot" "You mean the union?" "No,not the union,they are not the old union,I'm union as much as they are" "But who decides then,somebody must.." "Don't yell at me,I don't know" "I don't know who thought of it, or who decided it or anything all I" "I'm sorry I shouted,all I know that they are not talking to me" "Nobody is talking,not even old Billy Arkwright" "What are they scared of?" "I don't know just scared I suppose" "Don't do the step out of line these days" "We are also equal and nothing" "You remember that case in the paper" "The one I read out to you, railway,wasn't it?" "Yes" "I thought then,I wonder what it is like" "Now we know" "Do they do it for a time or what happens?" "I don't remember that case exactly but I think they kept it up for quite a while" "How long?" "A week or two?" "A bit longer I think" "I think they kept it up for quite a bit" "Anna gone to bed?" "Yeah" "I haven't done mine this week" "Fag?" "Sorry about all this" "What are you sorry about?" "Talking about you or me?" "Well,you,of course" "Look,I know what you must be thinking well,I don't like trouble you see" "I mean I wasn't at the meeting, I didn't vote or anything like that" "You know how it is,they get at you, you can't go against all of them" "Yeah,I noticed that myself" "But there you are,I mean, where does it all got you?" "The point is,you got to live with them so what's the use sticking your neck out all the time" "I mean,I don't want to go into the rights or wrong of it all but once it happens,you know, you'd better fall in with them" "I mean,they are all badge of twits anyway" "Yeah,I'm sorry Joe,I'm sill not quite there first that you shall fall in with them or me?" "Well,both" "I mean I don't get anything out of it, been feeling lousy ever since it happened" "You can stop feeling lousy on my account" "I'm glad you finally talked about it anyway" "Yes I was asked" "You were asked?" "Not exactly but,some of them,what you call it,the football team they wanted to" "You see they are a bit worried about fixtures and that" "In what way?" "Apparently,I mean,you know more about it than I do but a couple of matches had to been scrubbed,didn't they?" "And" "Well" "Teams got a bit anxious to do something" "I see" "And?" "The reason they picked me to tell you is because I live here I suppose" "Tell me what?" "They want you take a back seat" "Joe has been telling me some news.Haven't you Joe?" "Really.Did he make sure all the doors were locked first" "You never know,do you Joe, somebody might be spying on you they might find out that you actually spoken to Tom Curtis,Sir" "All right,all right" "No,it is not all right, it's not all right at all he can't have it both ways and if you won't tell him I will" "He can't talk to you at work, he can't talk to you here" "He has something special to say" "Yes,like away you or good bye you" "Leave it,this is between Joe and me" "It is not,no,it is not.This is my house too,and all I can take from Mr Wallace" "Look,you wake the kids" "I wake the kids,I wake MrJoe,bloody,Wallace too" "Look,this is a home and not a morgue" "People talk in homes,they speak to each other,they say Good Morning and Good Night" "They don't treat their friends like they have some sort of disease or something" "What was so special that he had to tell you tonight and he couldn't have told you this morning?" "What was so special?" "You better look at me" "You went out of this house this morning you couldn't even bring yourself to say hello to me" "Let alone my husband.Well I want to tell you something" "I don't work at your rotten factory and I don't belong to your little committees and your little unions" "And nobody is going to send me to Coventry" "I don't want you here any more" "I don't want you near me or my children, I don't want you here in this house any more" "Look,honey,shut up will you" "You know something,you know something" "I feel sorry for you,you can't even think for yourself" "Look,Annie,stop it,I'm sorry Joe" "You are sorry,you're sorry, you deserve your friend" "In italian Guarda etc" "Yes,that's all I needed today" "Look,maybe I better clear out,best for everybody" "Curtis?" "My name is Ball I'm from the Melsham Argus" "Are you?" "Sorry to speaking to you so early but I wanted to be sure of catching you" "About this business up at the factory I understand you've been sent to Coventry over some differences with the work's committee is that correct?" "Something like that,yeah" "You didn't come out on strike did you,Mr Curtis?" "No" "What was that then?" "I've personal reasons" "Journalist You didn't agree with the strike in other words,can I say that?" "No,I didn't agree" "I mean you thought it was rather unnecessary shall we say" "Yeah" "Fine,fine" "One other thing,how do you feel now?" "In what way?" "I mean about your work mates" "It's difficult to say" "I don't understand it really but if it was not for the union,they'd fired me" "I see you feel you have been persecuted aren't you?" "Persecuted I don't say.." "You say you think it is unfair" "Yes,I do really" "Journalist It's the same thing really,isn't it?" "Right" "Thank you Mr Curtis,you've been very helpful" "Who was that?" "Some bloke from the Melsham Argus" "What did he want?" "Want to know,what I felt about it" "What did you tell him?" "Told him the truth" "The truth according to Tom Curtis is that he has been" "Let me see that" "Has been victimized" "Yeah,that's right by those responsible for an unnecessary and unreasonable withdraw of labour which did not have union backing" "He's begging for it,isn't he?" "Yes" "Read the rest read further down about old Martindale if he has something to say" "A bit unfortunate?" "It's bloody side worse than that" "They got on to me last night, I told them it was off the record" "Well,what do you want me to do?" "What do I want to do?" "Kill it,get after Connolly,and get it sorted out" "If you have to,get rid of Curtis" "I don't care" "But kill it" "Yeah,all right,the old man is upset, everybody is upset" "Well,they got right to be" "Let's not talk about rights shall we.." "Let's keep the conversation clean" "I just want to make sure that this thing doesn't go any further" "That's easy enough,sack Curtis" "Can you just as easily stop this commie business?" "You've had your fun.Call it a day now and paper has got nothing to write about" "What do you mean fun?" "What I say,maybe you call it justice all right,justice then I don't care, call it what you like but finish it" "I can't finish it.It is not my decision." "I'm only spokesman for the men" "Don't give me that guts Bert,you're slipping these days you know,you're treating me like an equal" "You can stop it" "Maybe I could have stopped it before but not now" "The men didn't like that article" "What is it?" "A few words in the local rag" "It'll end up on a nail in a toilet or something not going far with it" "Why are they all getting so excited about?" "They took it very personally" "All right,do me a favour,use your interest tell them not to take it personally,I don't care" "I took it personally too,they trampled me and mentioned by name,I don't like that" "Don't tell me you're getting a lawyer" "Curtis is a blackleg and I don't want him here" "Let me tell you something, you don't run this factory,yet and while I'm works manager I decide who gets the push" "And it's get to take me more than a few paragraphs in the Argus to make me give Curtis's cards" "And I tell you something else you can take personally" "I don't like what you are doing" "You'd better get that lawyer, you might need him one day" "I'll remember you said that,Davis" "Mr Davis,while you are still talking to me" "They look happy enough" "What are their names?" "Brian and Cathy,Catherine" "Nice looking kids" "Do you mind if we borrow this for a while we'll let you have it back safely" "Get you some coffees made" "Tell me Mrs Curtis,you're not English,are you?" "No.Italian" "Italian" "And what's your christian name, we may as well have that too" "Anna" "Not Gina?" "It's a nice name,that suits you, I knew a girl called Anna once" "Excuse me asking but somebody told me that you are in fact expecting another edition is that right?" "Yes" "Congratulations" "What's all this for?" "(Thank you).It's just that local people have interest in your story,Mrs Curtis that's why they sent me all this way" "We like to get the woman's angle" "You're not write anything bad,are you?" "What's that?" "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WRITE ANYTHING BAD" "Why don't they sack him?" "Why don't you sack me then if Mr Martindale feels so strongly about it,why doesn't he sack me?" "Don't think he hasn't thought of it" "We are not going to sack you that would really give the papers something to write about" "I only want you to do is to apologize to the work's committee finish it,get it dead" "Would you apologize?" "I'm not talking about me" "But I'm asking you" "I don't know what I'd do" "I wouldn't have got myself where you are in the first place" "But I tell you this much I think of a way to finish it,and I finish it soon" "Soon?" "What's the use of soon?" "We got to finish it now" "We're committed it to it now,you know, I've signed the contract" "But they've got a get out clause and they'll use it if we are having any more trouble" "They can't afford delays" "I still think it will blow over" "You said that last time" "In mean,what are we going to do?" "You say,you can't sack him, he won't apologize they won't back down and we are right in the bloody middle" "And I'm not going to lose business because of one man,life's too short" "What's your opinion?" "What about?" "Can you come back" "You're one of the men who sent Tom Curtis to Coventry?" "In a way,yes" "Are you proud of this evidence of solidarity among the men who work here?" "Or are you ashamed of what lot of other people regard as a cruel act?" "Am I?" "Look,I think you better ask someone else,nothing to do with me" "You three work here do you?" "No,we're the owners" "Old Eddie" "Let me ask old Eddie,what do you expect to achieve by sending this man to Coventry?" "Or is there any pleasure in inflicting this punishment in one of your work mates?" "I'll tell you what we expect to achieve,I think it deserves him" "Do you think he deserves it?" "Like he says,Curtis asked for it" "As I understand it this was an unofficial strike so Curtis was quite with in his rights in refusing to come out?" "I don't think so" "You make no distinction between an official and an unofficial strike?" "No" "You'd always come out?" "Yeah,when they tell us to" "When who tells you then?" "The man" "What man?" "Would you come out if he told you?" "I never told him" "You were at the meeting at which it was decided to send Tom Curtis to Coventry?" "Yes,I was there" "Did you vote to do that?" "Put me hand up,yeah" "Did you know what putting your hand up would mean to Tom Curtis?" "Do you always vote when you don't know what you are voting for?" "Well if he doesn't know let me ask you" "What makes you decide how you're going to vote?" "It depends what they want to give us" "To find out what action the employer is taking in this explosive situation" "I've come to talk with the Managing Director of Martindale Engineering Company" "Listen to this" "Oh,blast" "That ugly and frightening weapon has been used in this small industrial town" "(TV)The weapon of silence.Merlsham today is troubled and confused and tempers are short" "In the past few weeks it has known violence and you may have felt as I have that the whole town is tense and braced for yet another outbreak of this violence that nobody quite understands and at the centre of it all,Tom Curtis" "the man against whom this weapon has been used,the man who has been sent to Coventry" "There are two ways of looking at Curtis it seems to me as an obstinate and foolish and selfish man who has let down his mates and who fully deserves the punishment that he is getting or as a brave,honest and thinking man, unjustly tormented by the men" "who work along side him most of whom don't know or care what the row is about but follow like sheep the one or two men who are full of malice and spite but whoever is to blame, there is something ugly in the air" "and so from Marlsham,the town where there is hatred in silence" "Back to tonight's studio in London,Good night" "What were you going to say?" "I was going to read you this now,where is it" "Oh,yes,yes" "A position could always be found for you in a Brisbane works" "Where?" "Brisbane,Australia,isn't?" "A man named Fraser,he owns a factory out there" "I'm sure you and your family would find a new and full life out here because of personal liberties one that's always been close to my heart" "Nice letter,isn't it?" "Yeah,if you want to live in Australia" "I mean that was nice of him to offer" "I can't believe all these people writing to us" "Some of the people stop me in the street too" "I meant to tell you,you know Mr Bush at the grocer's?" "He slipped in a bottle of lemon-squash for the children and didn't charge me" "I believe that was a mistake" "No.He meant it,I know he meant it" "Of course,they are not all on our side" "What I am going to do,Annie?" "What I am going to do?" "What do they want from me?" "I suppose they want you to give up and get out" "Is that what you want to?" "Tear everything up second time and start all over again" "No,I don't want that" "I mean,I don't know" "I only want what you want I suppose" "Here you are darling,catch!" "Where is Brian?" "What?" "Don't say what,why isn't Brian with you?" "Yeah,I know" "Whose slamming that?" "Come on quickly" "Sorry.Mrs Jackson,just the wind" "I know it was all right" "I told you not to slam when you walk" "Where is Brian?" "I told you" "Wasn't he waiting for you,Cathy?" "Look at me,wasn't Brian waiting for you at the gate?" "No" "Did you wait for him?" "He didn't wait for me" "Cathy,look at me,I'm talking to you" "Did you ask any of the other boys if they saw him?" "No" "You know you are supposed to wait for each other" "How could I wait for him when he wasn't waiting for me" "All right,you start your tea" "I'm going to the corner, there is one cake each and I shan't be long,you'll be all right" "You can have some biscuits but just one cake,all right?" "All right" "I shall not be long" "Brian!" "Brian!" "Brian!" "Italian cosa hanno fatto" "How is he now?" "I had to put him in our bedroom because of Cathy" "I couldn't get it off all" "I mean,I got most of it off with that stuff we have in the kitchen" "It was just like tar" "He said who did it" "Some boys,some bigger boys in the next class" "I carried him all the way home" "You shouldn't have done that" "Where are you going?" "I got to see him" "Please,don't" "What do you mean,not going to see him?" "Brian" "He is asleep,Tom,let him sleep" "Are you asleep boy?" "It's all right,boy,it's dad" "You aren't asleep,are you?" "Why won't you talk to me?" "Because your daddy is a scab" "Shut up" "Shut up will you" "You don't have to worry about not talking to me" "I do not want you to talk to me,do you hear" "But you stay away from my family" "Just stay away from us" "Get stuffed,short ass" "And you lot,you did lot of talk to nobody because you've got nothing to say" "You're nothing" "We don't need any of you" "We don't need you" "Are you going to the dance on Friday night?" "No" "Mr Curtis" "Mr Curtis,you're all right?" "Feeling all right?" "Fine" "Thought it best.." "I'm fine,fine" "Joe!" "What's happening now?" "What about?" "What's wrong with Tom Curtis?" "Nothing that concerns you" "Oh,yes,it does" "You mind" "I'm asking you a question, what happened in there,just now?" "Look I'm tired of people getting on my back" "Whatever has happened to me,brought it on himself, what do you expect me to do about it now?" "Everyone goes on as it was my fault well I didn't start it,I didn't have nothing to do with it" "I just mind my own business, why don't you do the same" "You could have an opinion, could you,to save your life" "You are the big "I am"" "I don't know why I ever bothered about you" "You are just like the rest,gutless,you haven't got the brains to pick up anything" "One man,that's all it means,one man" "Is it all right to talk?" "Good" "First thing,you don't need instructions from me?" "Right now,listen.Reason I should ring is, something happened here today" "No,concerning penalties" "And it occurred to me if the time is rife all round,we got a ready mine up here" "We used Curtis to get them out again" "Let them screw up the whole contract" "Sure,about seven factories all dependent on Martindales" "I would work for treat you see" "Curtis really played right into my hands today" "Connolly,Connolly,up here,a minute" "What's that mean?" "What's happening about what?" "These reductionary turns.Number 2 shift in four bay are they retired or something?" "No,they are working the rule" "Since when?" "The decision was taken by the work's committee we are operating a full overtime ban until such time as the management get rid of Curtis" "Ah,so we are back on that one again,are we?" "Why are you frightened of,are you afraid that might Curtis may win in the end?" "No,we are not worried bout that,Mr Davis" "Aren't you?" "I'll give you a little thought to take away with you" "Once you start sacking people because they don't agree with you or because you don't like they part the hair" "Once you establish that precedent that might give other people ideas" "It might just occur to me that you are not my cup of tea,for instance there is no telling where it might end" "Quite a few people might get sacked" "Are you threatening me?" "Take it any way you like,get out,will you" "He said that it would be quite a few people sacked" "What's up?" "Don't know yet" "Gonna close down" "Who said?" "You heard,Davis told old Connolly" "It's victimisation,you know" "Yes,what is?" "They are going to make an example, sack a few,so I was told" "I didn't hear about that.Sack them?" "Somebody told me" "I want to talk to the union secretary" "Well,who is there?" "Has he got any authority I don't want the office boy" "I told you to sort this out,but now" "You said it would blow over,well things don't blow over any more" "You should have sacked Curtis the moment this Coventry business started" "That's a matter of opinion isn't it?" "Hello" "Yes,yes,of course it's urgent" "It's more than urgent,I'm afraid they are coming out" "Yes.Speaking.Who's that?" "Thomson?" "I'm sorry to pull you out of a meeting,but we got a wild cat" "I want a union representative up here right away" "What do you think you will do then?" "I don't know" "I prayed for us this evening" "I didn't go to your mother as I said I went to mass" "I thought it perhaps might help" "You see,I don't mind if you go away at all" "I mean Australia anywhere" "Somebody told me Australia is very nice" "Nice people and it is hot" "Almost like home" "We could go home of course" "Yes,that's right" "This isn't really home for you,is it?" "I didn't mean that" "No,I know" "I have really messed up everything haven't I?" "And all I need know why" "But I've got to decide something" "I've just got to,otherwise,I'll.." "I don't know even how I got into it" "You got into it because you thought it was the right thing" "Yeah" "I hope that is why because if it isn't we may as well clear out" "We may as well" "I mean if people can't be different, if they take that away from you" "There is no point of anything, no point of bringing up kids or anything" "There is no point at all" "I don't think I can see both sides, they must think they're doing right too" "What strikes you as funny?" "No.Not so funny" "Tom,wait" "Tom" "Don't go" "Please God,don't go" "Curtis,you think we are not striking?" "Nobody told me that there was a strike" "Joe,can I talk to you?" "Yes,pull up a chair" "I've got to talk to you" "All right" "Don't mind me" "Tom Curtis has been hurt" "What do you mean hurt?" "No details.He was working late, and the police found him" "He just had an accident." "What is his address?" "Where is he now?" "Up in the hospital I would think" "All right,come on" "Hello Anna" "Hello Joe" "I heard the news" "That girl I used to go with, nice girl Pat.She told me" "You are all right?" "Just worried about leaving the kids with Mrs Jackson" "I could ask Pat to go around and stay with them,for a bit if you like,she is outside" "Then,how is he?" "They don't know yet,Joe" "Way,never tell you much,do they,I mean" "Even if the things are all right, they seem to,you know, like to keep it to themselves,expect they have to keep the rules or something" "You're sure you are all right?" "They got any idea what happened?" "He was knocked down by a car,they think" "They think they might have to operate" "Don't worry" "That's a silly thing to say,of course you are worried,but" "Well,they can do wonderful things these days and,you know,Tom is pretty tough" "I'll go and tell Pat.I could come back and stay with you" "If you want me to?" "Thank you,Joe,I like you to stay" "Excuse me" "Mrs Curtis" "Sister would like to see you" "How is my husband?" "He came through it very well" "Sister will tell you about it" "You're all right now?" "Yes,you do not need to wait any longer,Joe" "We'll take care over her" "You didn't see a patient called Curtis, did you,Doctor,he was in a car accident" "I saw when he came in,yes" "Was he bad?" "You the driver?" "No,just a friend" "Well,he is not too good" "Had to lose an eye I am afraid" "Come on Percy,what about your work then" "Dear,what a night" "What happened this time?" "Been suicide,all over the place, they never do a good job with a gun" "Bloke here asking about his pal,you know, in that car crash,you brought in earlier" "Hit and run,the police reckon, no witnesses either" "They trashed him,those bastards" "He was still conscious when we got there, but couldn't tell the police nothing" "All he was concerned was with was Gladys,who is that,his wife?" "Gladys?" "Yes,kept talking about her" "It is not his wife,his wife's name is Anna" "I'll never mention it to nobody" "Is that you nurse?" "Yes,it's all right,Mr Curtis" "Can you do something for me?" "Tell my wife now, not to worry" "Not now" "Not to worry" "Having a baby" "Brothers please" "Quiet please,I call upon the Union's affair here , Thompson" "Please,hold it in the back,please" "Chairman,the union's negotiating committee" "Brothers,brothers,I have come specially here,to urge you to return to work" "And I am confident between us we have found an acceptable formula" "Acceptable to whom?" "Have you seen Eddie,Barry?" "No,not since this morning" "Acceptable to whom?" "Go back to work,it is in your own interest" "Hey,Gladys,come here,I want to talk to you" "What about?" "About Tom Curtis" "Get nutted" "Wasn't me" "I didn't do nothing" "Only did the look out, it was Eddie who has done it" "Right,you will stay there, you know what is good for you" "I am going to make sure you are buried before the police get here" "What police?" "What are you trying to kid?" "You'd done Tom Curtis last night,didn't you?" "You're nuts or something?" "You touch me and I will carve you" "Is that what you've done to Tom Curtis?" "I know nothing about Tom Curtis" "You keep away from me" "I warn you,you keep away from me,your mad bleeder" "Don't you know about Tom Curtis" "The only way to tackle this problem is on an official union basis" "That's what I am here for and that's what I am prepared to stay here" "You are all engaged in work of national importance" "Heard about being sacked" "You keep saying that,nobody has been sacked" "You can't tell me a man has been sacked" "Who do you think you are?" "The management has categorically stated that there has been no sackings" "Get him now" "There will be more discussion on both sides" "I think we better break this up" "You say there has been outside interference in this strike?" "Yes,definitely" "Come on now" "Can I quote you?" "Yes,copy it" "What do you know about make your funds?"
