Henry Ward Beecher condemned strikers for “tyrannical opposition to all law and order.” He insisted that a man with a family of five children needed no more than a dollar a day if he did not smoke or drink beer. “Is not a dollar a day enough to buy bread? Water costs nothing … the man who cannot live on bread and water is not fit to live.”
