Knowing this, Elsas made no effort at using African American strikebreakers during the strike, for fear of stoking solidarity among their ranks. This sentiment is shared by historian Mark K.

The mills' location in Atlanta also meant that there was an abundance of new workers to be hired to replace the strikers. Union efforts were also hurt by a noticeable separation between the union organizers and the rank and file union members, with actual employees not having too much say in the strike's operations compared to organizers like Miles and Smith.
