All this they glimpsed momentarily before the press closed in on the tragic scene and cut off their view. While Harley had been in no way responsible for Pelton's murderous attack upon Yesler, public opinion held him to account. The Pinkertons who had, up till this time, been employed at the mines, were now moved to the hotel to be ready for an emergency.
There is no evidence to show that the slightest damage was done, or attempted to be done, to property on the part of the strikers...." "It was claimed by the Pinkerton agency that in all cases they require that their men shall be sworn in as deputy sheriffs, but it is a significant circumstance that in the only strike your committee made inquiry concerning that at Homestead the fact was admitted on all hands that the armed men supplied by the Pinkertons were not so sworn, and that as private citizens acting under the direction of such of their own men as were in command they fired upon the people of Homestead, killing and wounding a number."
Both proposed definite action; both urged the reduction in length of the working day. The Populists condemned the use of Pinkertons in labor disputes and the Socialists urged arbitration, the prohibition of child labor, restrictions on the employment of women in unhealthful industries, employers' liability laws and the protection of life and limb.
"I shall undoubtedly exercise my authority, if it should be necessary, my son." "He told Sam Pomeroy that all the Deacon Pinkertons in the world couldn't make him go to the poorhouse." "I will constrain him," said the deacon. "I would if I were you, father," said Tom, elated at the effect of his words. "Just teach him a lesson."
"They have Pinkertons all over the grounds to see that you don't escape with less than three copies. I'm waiting to hear the ritual they always have, and then I'm going to sprint for the first train back to the centre of civilization." "There's going to be a fine lunch," said Redding, "and reporters are expected. I asked the policeman if we were, and he said we were."
"Did he say that?" asked Frank, indignantly. "Yes." "When he tells you that, you may say that I shall never go to the poorhouse." "He says his father is going to put you and your sister there." "All the Deacon Pinkertons in the world can never make me go to the poorhouse!" said Frank, resolutely. "Bully for you, Frank! I knew you had spunk." Frank hurried home.
He reports every day." "But Narcone Are you really in earnest about this scheme?" "I am. It's our only chance to land him, and I've got to accomplish something or quit drawing my salary. Here's the layout; the Pinkertons have an operative who knew Sabella in New York; they were friends, in fact. This fellow arrived here two hours ago calls himself Corte.
The strikers were aroused from their sleep and within a few minutes the river front was covered with a crowd of coatless and hatless men armed with guns and rifles and grimly determined to prevent the landing of the Pinkertons. The latter, however, did not seem to appreciate the gravity of the situation.
In vain did the strike leaders attempt to pacify the men and to stop the carnage the strikers were beyond control. The struggle lasted several hours, after which the Pinkertons retreated from the river bank and withdrew to the cabin of the boat.
The man in charge of the Pinkertons was at the gate with two other men, apparently waiting. "Come on!" shouted Craig. We four followed him as fast as we could. He turned in at the lane running up to the yellow house, so as to approach the barn from the rear, unobserved. "Quietly, now," he cautioned. We were now at the door of the barn. A curious crackling, snapping noise issued.
