      They can try, they’ll just make unions more radical. Look up the Texas Lumber War

        If it’s anything like the Battle of Blair Mountain we’re overdue for a reminder.

          I wanted to keep it regional, but yea this lumber war is known for the Grabow massacre that killed 3 union members and wounded 50.

          The overarching coal wars (to those just now learning about this, yes there were multiple) in general are fascinating. Bloody Harlan is another good example
