American - Businessman | February 18, 1862 - October 18, 1939
My own idea is that if the men hold any meetings or attempt to form any organization, we should be prepared to be fully informed of all that goes on and unhesitatingly discharge any men connected with this movement.

We hear much of Bolshevism, much of labor unrest; at times, we hear the word 'revolution.'
