The purpose of this article is to present what was not possible until completion of the record of the Southern courts in dispensing justice in the strike cases against unionists, anti-unionists and officers. Violence incident to the strikes began at Elizabethton, Tennessee, in April 1929, three weeks after the first walkout; it culminated six months later at Marion, North Carolina, in six deaths. There were eight major cases of violence incident to the strikes. There was the "chamber-of-commerce" kidnapping at Elizabethton on April 4, when Alfred Hoffman and E.F. McGrady, of the American Federation of Labor, were taken from their hotel.
