Chapter XXII
Through September and October the labor situation grew more and more acute. It was not that labor made unreasonable demands which Potter could not satisfy; it was not class unrest, not the work of professional agitators--it was fear. Some agency was skilfully and systematically frightening the men who worked on the government's motor. Potter discussed the phenomenon with his father. "The men are restless," he said, bitterly.
