The men react to Jake's speech by lauging at him. They might have been laughing at him because Jake proably agree with the workers who had went on stirke, whom wanted to get a raise. The men might think that the workers who had stirke were stupid because along as their getting money it does not matter. And to Jake ot seem that the owners of the mills did not care because they hired people who came on trucks to work at the mills. You can understand what Jake is talking about when he talks about the lifestyle of the citizens that are on the streets.

Yes, maybe the men did think those who went on strike were foolish and that they can never hope to gain any benefits by striking.
