They had been to a presentation night. A delegate had received a recognition of his services from his comrades, and old Bill and Harry were warmed up to exchange reminiscences, after the matter of patriarchs . . . Harry was slow and not strong on words until the right influence was touched, but he was evidently well keyed to-night. 'I re member some goes we had in the old 'bus days, before anybody thought of trams . . . There was a meetin' we held in the city, Lonsdale Street, at the stables then ... It was a go we had to form a union . . . they all met in the city, an' they had speechifying; after they fixed up to have a proper union . . . There was 18 men made what we call delegates now. Each of 'em took up the work . . . that was on Sunday. In the next week out comes word that some 'buses has to be taken off. Just 18 men was to go . . . Yes; and them 18 was just them that had to do the union work ... we all fixed up to strike, and none of them was sacked after all ?not that time, anyhow'.2
