Union members and sympathizers cut telephone wires throughout the county, blew up bridges, scattered nails on roads to stop and slow truck traffic, fired shots at strikebreakers, burned warehouses, and set off small explosions in towns, villages and onion processing stations throughout the county. Strikers even bombed the home of the owner of the Scioto Land Company, the largest landowner in Scioto Marsh.
Union supporters and sympathizers implemented a campaign of disruption, targeting critical infrastructure, businesses, and individuals. The strikers also used explosives to further disrupt operations.
