began to hold meetings in the yard of a local Greek church. However, police arrested many outside speakers who were present at these meetings. By early July, the strike was still ongoing, but around this time, the mill began to evict striking families from their homes, a possibility that the mill had made clear much earlier in the strike. At least 14 families were evicted from their company-owned houses during the strike. According to Ipswich historian Gordon Harris, the strike petered out and was over by the end of July. In October 1913, The Quincy Daily Ledger reported that, by that time, many of the strikers who had been involved in the strike had been evicted and had relocated from Ipswich. Aftermath At the time, the strike received national attention, including coverage in a newspaper as far away as Honolulu. However, over the next several decades, there was little acknowledgement of the strike from the town itself, as highlighted in a 2013 report on the strike given by several Ipswich High School students at the Ipswich Museum. In October 2021, the Ipswich Historical Commission voted to create a plaque commemorating the strike and the death of Paudelopoulou. On June 10, 2022, the 109th anniversary of "Bloody Tuesday", the plaque was dedicated near the site of the event, on property now owned by EBSCO Industries. The event included a procession of dozens of individuals from the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church to the plaque in downtown.
