Window glass crashed out upon the street and through the aperture went sailing the union's membership and financial records until the sidewalk was white with torn paper. With the headquarters in ruins, the wreckers moved two doors down the street to a striker's grocery store, tossed out its contents, departed into the darkness-before-dawn, leaving this sign: WE HAVE QUIT YOUR DAMN UNION In their underclothes, National Guardsmen rushed up just in time...
