Sheriff Hoolihan informs Minnesota Governor Johnson of the situation in Itasca County. Hoolihan says striking miners from Finland, Austria, Italy, and Montenegro are holding daily meetings “under red flag,” making “anarchistic speeches” in foreign languages, and threatening non-sympathisers and men who want to work with violence. Hoolihan asks for the governor’s support in suppressing the meetings.
