Work of Fiends in Labor Dispute Endangers Four American Workers
Four American workmen kidnapped by a band of foreigners after a Saturday clash were rescued near Fairchance by deputies at noon. They bore chalk marks and blackleg placards, were paraded and tortured on the way to Kyle, then handed to strikers. The incident, viewed as an atrocity by many, spurred arrests as investigators collect evidence and identify captors. Notable violence included destruction at George Creek banks where strikers vandalized tools and rock, with a coroner preparing an inquest into Slav John Mokaff’s death and injuries likely fatal for Respercheck and Carnack.
