She, a Joan of Arc to many a worker, was eager to do so, but Franklin Roosevelt had wanted to give Ohio's Governor Davey a chance to bring peace locally, as Michigan's Murphy had done in the motor strikes.

No amount of good talk now or hereafter about the 'duty of the citizen towards the general...
