...Guard one-pounders wheeled out for the G. M. strike, they set up to look like cannon (see cut). Far from innocuous were the clubs and blackjacks with which they had armed themselves, the great iron bins lined three deep inside plant gates, filled with such missiles as bolts, pipe joints, grenade-sized automobile parts. "Troops might get through here," a striker confided to Scripps-Howard's Raymond Clapper, "but you ought to see what we've got inside. We have much more material than this piled around each stairway."

...real street war or suburban French Revolution by the time Premier Blum's investigators reached Clichy. The police, fearing a rush by armed workmen into the Olympia and a massacre inside, were now trying to evacuate the 300 French Social Party members and pipe them safely out of the arrondissement through thin police lines stretching through the crowd of 10,000.
