Premonitions of the Struggle
A FEW days ago, an automobile containing three men and the chauffeur drove up to a factory in Harrison, New Jersey, when one of the men alighted and entered a room where the foreman and fifteen men and girls were at work. This man approached the foreman, drew a revolver, and fired three shots at him, two of which struck him. The man then turned to run away from the factory, followed by the workmen. The people in the automobile became frightened, and sped away without waiting for the man to return. He ran to the railway station, boarded a train that was just pulling out, and, notwithstanding the fact that this was all in broad daylight, and many people were about, he made his escape. The foreman of the factory was a non-union man, and had been warned that he would be killed if he did not recognize the union and discharge two of his sisters who were employed in the factory. Occurrences similar to this, which are becoming more and more common, emphasize the significant facts that are set forth in the articles we are now publishing from Professor Rine.
