Today in Labor History August 11, 1894: Federal troops drove over 1,000 jobless workers from the nation's capital. Led by Charles "Hobo" Kelley, an unemployed activist from California, and Jacob Coxey, they camped in Washington D.C. starting in July. Kelley's Hobo Army included a young journalist named Jack London and a young miner-cowboy named Big Bill Haywood. Frank Baum was an observer of the protest and some say it influenced his Wizard of Oz, with the Scarecrow representing the American farmer, the tin man representing industrial workers and the Cowardly Lion representing William Jennings Bryan, all marching on Washington (Oz) to demand redress from the president (the Wizard). 650 miners, led by a "General" Hogan, captured a Northern Pacific train at Butte, Montana, en route to the protest. The Feds caught up with them at Billings, forcing a surrender, but a few eventually made it to Washington.

I have in memory that Jack London wrote a short story in which a dried monkey's paw played a part. A search on the Internet keeps leading me to William W. Jacobs (1863 - 1943) as the author of "The Monkey's Paw." Does anyone know of a Jack London story in which dried monkey's paw plays a role? Or maybe a short story by Jack London, where the protagonist gets his wish in a similarly cruel way?

Excerpt (continues in one reply below) from "Ode to a Scab" by Jack London:
After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab.
A #scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
