six o'clock
Dan came in with head high in air , and talked as if he had never seen Job ; he demanded justice for such hard-worked fellows as himself and his father , and gave a long harangue about the oppressed classes , till the superintendent interposed and said : `` Mr. Dean , if you have any personal grievance , come to me individually . Do not blockade that window ; take your money and go . '' And Dan went off in a white rage , leaving the money behind him . At six o'clock Job put on his coat and cap , and followed the superintendent and cashier to the door . There they found armed sentinels pacing all about the stone office building , and O'Donnell and his crowd waiting . They would be obliged , they were sorry to say , to inform them that the men had decided the `` boss and his crew '' should not go home till the `` twenty per cent . '' was paid ; that some food from the men 's boarding-house would be sent them , and they would have to stay in the office till they came to terms .
