Miller: 







Baum: 



they marched people in from all over the state on me 

 from both sides, in a show of strength, and where again 

 I without a gun and without a star said just simply, 

 "Drop those weapons, fellows; step down here, any one 

 of you, I'll take you." Because I knew 1u iitsu and I 

 knew how to dump *em, I could have dumped them right 

 on their rear ends, and they knew it. And I gathered 

 the guns and they're still in this house right here. 

 I have all the hay hooks and all of the clubs, they're 

 all labeled and they all can be seen. I solved that! 

 At that time Mr. Tyler, who represented the United 

 Press, said he'd never seen a man in his life, a law 

 enforcement officer, all alone do something like that. 

 He never saw in all his life anybody so brave. I said, 

 "I don't care, boys, if it means my life. I'm willing 

 to give it, but you're not going to hit somebody else 

 over the head, because this is America. Drop those 

 weapons!" And they did. They poured down like rain, 

 and I packed 'em up and put 'em in my car, and they're 

 still here at my home. 



When you were registering workers, I believe the state 

 employment service helped in registration?
