With back-to-work sentiment hardening into effective political pressure, Governor Davey announced that the Right to Work was as "sacred" as the Right to Strike. To his troops flashed orders to protect all workers who wanted to return to their jobs. The same militiamen who had received such a warm welcome when they marched into the Mahoning Valley early in the week were now roundly damned by the union as public strikebreakers...

The trio dragged themselves to the home of Brigadier General George C. Marshall, field commandant, drank his cognac, gobbled his breakfast, used his razor, then fell into his beds while...

As suspense deepened, rumors spread, money stopped circulating, two old people killed themselves. A plane appeared, flew over Santa Eulalia, was shot at by fascist soldiers.
