Washington, where some of the most intense labor confrontations with companies and their police occurred. He's gone now, but he told me once about how he was part of the Everett Massacre, an IWW vs police and company goon squad confrontation that occurred back in 1916 and left 7 people dead and 50 wounded (or thereabouts).

You can argue about who was in the right. But labor back then involved more than court battles. This country's history is fascinating.
