"I haven't come here, gentlemen, to represent anybody but the State of Pennsylvania and the people, to preserve the peace. I come here to protect the railroads in opening travel on their property, just as I would have done for any citizen who was illegally obstructed in the enjoyment of his rights or property. If anybody wants to work, he should be allowed to do so, or if he wants to quit work, it is his right to do so, and is is my duty to see that every man's rights shall be preserved."
January 1, 1970
