...necessity of living in company houses, trading at company stores, opened new jobs now held by some 6,000 boys under 17. Out of it operators got the assurance that there would not be another bituminous coal strike at least until April 1, 1934-Room 800 B was pack-jammed with hard-boiled operators who for years had balked unionization of their properties, and with tough-fisted veterans who had fought and bled for their union.

Three out of every ten New Yorkers were there, 2,000,000 strong. They fainted, they cheered, their feet hurt, their clothes got mussed. At 58th Street their sheer bulk bulged through splintering plate glass windows. The Governor's motorcycle escort rode one down. A pack of them upturned a policeman and his screaming horse.
