Enter the nation gaurd the guard was called in to keep peace and be a presences by the govener. At the sametime a (peacful) sit-in was organized by students of the school to protest the movment into Cambiodia. The nation gaurd didn;'t know much about it anyway they went to kent state to keep peace as that was thier job. They shoot tear gass which was thrown back at them. The marched up a hil felling vonerable at the foot of the hill. Their had been romuors of a sniper attack planed by the "weather underground"<--not sure if this is name.

Back than it was a common thing for the police to force people bad to work when they stirked, well harry stood up and said they wouldn't go back to work. The police were on the take and the longshore mans bosses demanded imate action. The police fired into the the stirkers another common practice, and killed 3 of them. The next day harry said they were haveing a funeral for the three men and all the long shoreman were going they were gonna walk the bodies through the twon to the cemitray. The police cheaf said he would not alow it. The next day the whole city went on a general strike in support of the long shore man and the dead workers. Harry shut the city down for the furneral, and the police did nothing. The strike went on and the longshore man prevaled in the end. Harry went on as a labour leader of the long shore man, and was later distoryed by te rumors he was a communinist. Theres a great story story about harry and his long shore man i don't know if it is ture or even about harry now that i;m thinking of it. But one day the nazis came into port befor america was at war with them, and harry and his long shoreman said they wouldn't serve no fasiousist. Topld them to load the bouts them selves and get off their docks and never come back. He was a great man. Other great punk songs about labour leaders, and long shore man labour leaders, is on the docks by the drop kick murphies. |
