Metz was only 20 miles away and Nancy caught it both coming and going, the bombers dropping a part of their load on the way out and dumping the remainder on their way back.

Warned by his Anna, who comes back to him just in time, that the miners are about to go back to work on unfavorable terms, Joe goes down into the mine with a load of explosives. From the bottom of the shaft he telephones up that unless the miners' demands are met, he will destroy the mine. The company's officials take him at his word. When Black Fury opened in Manhattan last week, it was advertised by its producers and hailed...
