Quincy sloshed in the mud with Lowell in the final contest, yet the cold rain prevented either side from ever reaching payday...
...tattered tuxedo (Frank Thornton) proceeds blithely across the blasted landscape. A gray, gluey mud sucks at his feet. The twilight surrounding him is some hallucinatory shade of orange. He pauses at a ruined shack and knocks on the door frame. "Good evening, sir," he says with elaborate politeness to Captain Bules Martin (Michael Hordern), the master of the house and a sometime surgeon.

Black membership is also high in the so-called "mud trades"-bricklaying, plastering, hod carrying-that white workers increasingly shun. There are few Negro electricians, sheet-metal workers, glaziers, plumbers or pipe fitters. Particularly in the South, there are still several hundred segregated all-Negro locals-in the machinists, carmen, railway clerks, paper mill workers and other unions...
