    19 men were tried and fired, August 26th through 29th
    For violation of rule 35
    The forbidden right to organize
    They suffered the loss of their livelihood that night.
    That night!

    A city in terror on the thin blue line.
    A thousand-plus walked off the job to support their brothers' cause,
    The anti-union prohibition clause.
    Demanded loyalty at any price
    On the thin blue line.
    its obviously something specific, but what?
