June 10, a large group of strikers were picketing near the front gates of the mill. According to a contemporary report from the International Socialist Review, there was a confrontation between some of the picketers and strikebreakers, and a group of police began to arrest some of the strikers. A town councilor read the riot act to the group, but as many of the picketers spoke only Greek, they probably did not understand what was being said. As police continued to try to disperse the crowd, the strikers resisted, and police began to fire their guns into the crowd. Within five minutes, between 50 to 100 shots had been fired by the police. The incident, known locally as "Bloody Tuesday", resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to seven others. The woman, Nicholetta Paudelopoulou, was struck in the head with a bullet and declared dead shortly after arriving at a local hospital. Paudelopoulou was a worker at the mill who had not been involved in the strike, but was returning home from the mill when the shooting began. Many of the injured were treated at Salem Hospital and faced steep medical bills upon their release. Following the shooting, several individuals associated with the strike, including three IWW leaders, were arrested. Those arrested were charged with murder, as police officers claimed that Paudelopoulou had been killed by someone firing a gun from a nearby second-story vantage point. Additionally, the police claimed that they had been fired on first before they began to fire into the crowd. However, a medical examiner ruled that that was impossible and that Paudelopoulou's gunshot wound had most likely been caused by someone firing level to her. Additionally, during the ensuing trial, no evidence was presented to substantiate the police's claim that they had been initially fired upon. The case ultimately collapsed due to a lack of evidence, and the IWW leaders were found innocent. No police were ever charged for the death of Paudelopoulou. During the period immediately following the shooting, the Ipswich Chronicle published a series of reports that disparaged the strikers. Later strike activities On the evening of June 10, the same day as "Bloody Tuesday", the town government appropriated a further $12,000 () for the police. Following the shooting, the police began to crack down on meetings and parades held by the strikers, and, in an effort to avoid this, strikers
