to him, 'in the last analysis all the
blood spilled in the strike will be
our blood.
"I told the strikers. they should
stay at home, but that they should
urge all other workers to stay ,
away from the mills. I pointed
out to them that the bosses would
call the police, and more police

army to protect their property."
