On 4th May, the Police acted to disperse a public assembly in support of the strike when an unidentified person threw a bomb. The Police also responded by firing on the workers. That even leads to the death of eight and the injury of police was sixty. And there was an unknown number of civilians killed or wounded. On the next day on 5th May in Milwaukee Wisconsin, the state militia fired on the crowd of strikers killing seven, including the schoolboy and a man feeding chickens in his yard.
