One of 18 sticks of dynamite wired to his engine had gone off. That "accident" and a whole bumper crop of anti-labor sluggings, shootings and gaggings made Harlan's rich coal veins throb with miners' blood. Last year, the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee tried applying a tourniquet; but bloody Harlan proved hemophilic...
