agreement, and management locked the union out. Workers considered the stoppage a ""lockout"" by management and not a ""strike"" by workers. As such, the workers would have been well within their rights to protest, and subsequent government action would have been a set of criminal procedures designed to crush what was seen as a pivotal demonstration of the growing labor rights movement, strongly opposed by management. Frick brought in thousands of strikebreakers to work the steel mills and Pinkerton agents to safeguard them. On July 6, the arrival of a force of 300 Pinkerton agents from New York City and |

would be directed at Japan, not Germany, just as happened. The Tripartite Pact (Germany, Italy, Japan) called for each to aid another in defense; Japan could not reasonably claim America had attacked Japan if she struck first. For instance, Germany had been at war with the UK since 1939, and with the USSR since June 1941, without Japanese assistance. There had been a serious, if low-level, naval war going on in the Atlantic between Germany and the U.S. since summer of 1941, as well. Nevertheless, it was only Hitler's declaration of war on 11 December, unforced by treaty, that brought |

on March 17 in which the gunboats took part, a gun on exploded, killing three members of the crew and wounding a dozen others. After Foote had flatly rejected Pope's request that gunboats run past Island No. 10, someone on Pope's staff suggested that perhaps a canal could be cut to enable Union vessels to bypass the batteries. The canal was completed in two weeks, but it was not deep enough to provide passage for the gunboats. It proved useful, nevertheless, in that transports and supply vessels could use it, so that Pope did not have to depend on land |

communications. Pope still insisted that he needed a gunboat to cover his projected landing on the Tennessee side of the river. Foote called two councils of war among his captains; in the first, on March 20, his decision not to risk running past the batteries was confirmed. When Halleck wrote to Foote, saying, ""Give him (Pope) all the assistance in your power,"" Foote called a second council, on March 29. This time, Commander Henry Walke, captain of , thought that the risk was worth the candle, and volunteered to take his boat through. Foote gave the necessary orders, and ""Carondelet"" |

Her steam exhaust was diverted from the smokestacks (called ""chimneys"" on river craft) to muffle the sound. She then had only to wait for a sufficiently dark night to make her run. To reduce the danger as much as possible, a raid by sailors in the flotilla and soldiers from the 42nd Illinois Infantry, under Colonel George W. Roberts overran Battery No. 1 and spiked its guns on the |

She was hit several times, and her mooring lines were parted. She drifted downstream, out of the war. On April 4, conditions for running past the remaining batteries were satisfactory. The night was moonless, and after dark a thunderstorm came up. ""Carondelet"" made her way downstream, and was not discovered until she was abreast of the Confederate Battery No. 2.

Monk is skeptical: Colbert found the coat at 5:00 PM, and Rusty was killed at around two o'clock, so why would someone be determined enough to attack two people to steal firefighting gear, but toss it away within a few hours?

Furthermore, Carnegie's success was due to his convenient relationship with the railroad industries, which not only relied on steel for track, but were also making money from steel transport. The steel and railroad barons worked closely to negotiate prices instead of free market competition determinations. Besides Carnegie's market manipulation, United States trade tariffs were also working in favor of the steel industry. Carnegie spent energy and resources lobbying congress for a continuation of favorable tariffs from which he earned millions of dollars a year. Carnegie |

Murdoch could not simply go back to the crime scene to retrieve the object, however, because he'd made his realization just as a fire engine sped past him while responding to the fire. To gain access to the scene, he needed a firefighter's coat and helmet, so Murdoch went to the firehouse. After killing Rusty and blinding Monk, Murdoch grabbed a coat and helmet, and returned to the burning house. Murdoch looked like one of the real firemen, so in the chaos, none of the cops or real firefighters on the scene noticed him or questioned him as he slipped |

Confederate records (admittedly incomplete) indicate that not more than 5,350 men were present. The number captured would then likely have been less than 4,500. Aside from the prisoners taken, the number of casualties in the entire campaign was very low. From the fall of New Madrid to the surrender at Tiptonville, the Union army and navy had lost only 7 men killed from all causes, 4 missing, and 14 wounded.

Murdoch recovers, and chases after Monk, but by hiding behind a wall, Monk is narrowly able to throw Murdoch off course. Murdoch goes running up the stairs, thinking that he'll find Monk up there. After briefly getting lost, Monk stumbles into an out-of-order construction elevator, and tries to start it up. It shudders, only getting a few inches up, causing him to mistakenly believe |

He explains that while Eddie Murdoch killed Stefanie Preston and Rusty, and he was the man that attacked Monk at the firehouse, none of it was his idea: he was hired by Breen as a hitman to carry out the job. Breen was the one having the affair; he had keys to Stefanie's house, which he loaned to Murdoch so that Murdoch could kill her and then stage an ""accidental"" fire. It was all because of the house keys that Murdoch went to the firehouse to |

steal firefighting gear to reenter the scene of the fire. Monk and Stottlemeyer eventually locate Murdoch's body. They find the keys they are looking for in a plastic bag containing Murdoch's personal effects. Just as Stottlemeyer grabs the keys and tells Monk that they've found Exhibit A, one of the ""corpses"" rises from its gurney and casts off the sheet. It is Peter Breen, who has followed Eddie Murdoch's body to the morgue to recover his keys and destroy the one remaining piece of evidence against him. Breen knocks Stottlemeyer out, and then handcuffs him to a gurney, then grabs |

Monk grabs Stottlemeyer’s pistol, and with his eyesight beginning to return just in the nick of time, shoots Breen in the chest, then leans down to check on Stottlemeyer, who realizes that Monk can see him.
