...they did not want their location photographed with water creeping over it. Also in March, Walter O'Hara sued the Journal for $1,000,000 for libel because it intimated that he was working in collusion with Pawtucket officials to sell that city a bargain-bought textile mill to use as a power plant. Shortly afterward, Democratic State Representatives scowled at the Journal by passing a measure calling for the investigation of its tax payments to the City of Providence, supposedly because it had been under-assessed.

An example of this is one particularly prosperous mill in South Carolina, where the employer had taken the trouble to organize his own "mill army" as a safeguard against labor difficulty.

The organizers decided that they had more pressing business elsewhere...
