The line of heavily armed guards shown in top picture, extended beside a plant of the Bibb Manufacturing company in Macon, Ga., which employed 300 men to ward off “flying squadrons™ of strikers. Only minor disorders attended the reopening. Obeying of the old axiom, “fight fire with fire,” Adjutant General Lindley W. Camp of Georgia organized his own “flying squadrons” of national guardsmen and set out to reund up “flying squadrons” of textile strikers who sought to keep cotton mills from operating. A squad of militiamen is shown at the left just after it captured the squadron of strikers at Newnan, Ga.
