The Star editorial rejects claims that Danville promoted a crisis led by Gorman and Moorehouse. It labels Moorehouse’s Flying Squadron as red Communist influence, defends the right to strike and picket, and asserts authorities acted to curb violence while noting 7,000 workers at Dan River and Riverside Mills stayed peaceful. The piece criticizes support for strikers and questions federal aid to the strike amid national tension.
