- Louis Obermeier: Milk strike? Well, it was bad. Milk got down to 80 cents. There was no money. If you had something to sell, there wasn't many people that had money to buy it. I guess they just decided that they wasn't gonna haul no milk to the factories. So that day, everybody kept their milk home. When they decided they was gonna dump milk, it was just like now. You got the strikers and then you got the scabs. We didn't wanna be called the scabs, so we kinda went along with 'em.
It was worth a try. One time is a way I can recollect, y'know, we was gonna stop a truck from going to New London. So when that damn truck come along, there was a man sitting on this fender and over on this fender with his feet down on the bumper, each one with a shotgun. And they had a couple up in the truck yet with shotguns. So we just waved on, "Keep on going, boy." [laughs]
