A coroner's jury of union miners and businessmen found the company officials guilty after killings at a Williamson County mine. Two union miners were killed and nineteen non unionists died by gunshots, with sixteen unnamed victims interred in a potter's field under a June 22, 1922 inscription. The piece depicts union justice as sovereign and suppressive, praising pomp for the union dead and anonymity for the non union dead.
A lengthy analysis critiques Williamson County's political control by union-backed supervisors, laments aristocratic neglect of law and order, and warns of quasi legal authority shielding violence. It contrasts public apathy with calls for discipline, and envisions broader social shifts from mining to aviation.
The article argues that urban density grows with closer house placement but living space per person has increased since 1850. It notes the Census Bureau finding five occupants per dwelling, compares 1850 six per home, and observes modern homes being larger with more rooms though smaller per room, challenging the piano box fear.
The passage notes how people naturally imitate others and gather around unusual events. It argues that this crowd impulse is a simple natural law, not altered by philosophy, revealing a universal tendency to join the crowd regardless of purpose.
The passage notes global livestock per capita with Russia as expert mathematicians after chaos. It compares livestock shares: America holds a sixth of cattle and swine, a sixth of world population yet smaller. It contrasts peaceful Americans with militant Japan whose diet centers on rice, challenging meat-eating theories.
