from its minutes, taken
from among others of similar purport, are considered:

"Decided to go after advertisements in labor journals and the
Northwestern Worker."[7]

"Matter of how far to go on open shop propaganda at the deputies meeting
this morning was discussed. Also the advisability of submitting pledges.
Mr. Moody to take up matter of the legality of pledges with Mr. Coleman.
Note: At deputies meeting all speakers touched quite strongly on the
open shop, and as far as it was possible to see all in attendance seemed
favorable."[8]

Just how far they finally did go is a matter of history. At the time,
however, there were appropriations made for the purchase of blackjacks,
leaded clubs, guns and ammunition, and for the employment of
detectives, labor spies, and "agents provocateur."[9]
