It turns out that Pat had been threatened and assaulted previously, and it was “common talk” that “some labor leaders would be murdered” What a courageous man!
Ho-ly crap! So interesting. Great detective work digging up this information, Kirsi. Have you read the novel by Steven Thayer, "Saint Mudd"? It takes place in St. Paul in the 1930s (if I remember correctly). This story reminds me of that.

Imagine being so committed to your beliefs that you put your personal safety aside. Truly inspiring!

I have heard of that, but have not read! I definitely will do so now! Thanks for the tip!
