HE SCABBED.
His mates, they formed a union and For justice made a gallant stand. Hβ scabbed. They fought the fight that brave man fight When manhood tackles moneyed might. Hβ scabbed. The trump of Freedom pealed and stirred To noble strife her sons who heard. He scabbed. They gathered, and with solid front They bore a bitter battle's brunt. Hβ scabbed. They won—or lost—the years went by, But ever dogged his steps the cry, " He scabbed." And when among the silent dead He lay, above his grave they said, " He scabbed." And maybe still the scornful taunt He hears from devils grim and gaunt— " He scabbed." Johhn Smitth, "Q. Worker."
