Negotiate in their world. Persuasion is not about how bright or smooth or forceful you are. It’s about the other party convincing themselves that the solution you want is their own idea. So don’t beat them with logic or brute force. Ask them questions that open paths to your goals. It’s not about you.

“You’re condemning them to death,” he continues. Tormund brittles at that, annoyed. “Worse than death because you’re too proud to make peace,” Jon spits angrily. “Or maybe you’re not proud… Maybe you’re just a coward,” he barks, but looks like he instantly regrets it. 

 “Careful, boy…” Tormund’s nostrils flare and he slowly rises to his full, towering height, and Jon’s breath hitches just barely. The smaller man visibly flushes and bites his lower lip while taking a step back when he takes one forward.

“Settle The Barbers’ Strike By Agreement,” Ottawa Citizen. July 18, 1919. Page 15. --- Masters Accept Men’s Proposal for $20 and Half Over $31 ‘Takings’ --- The strike of Ottawa barbers which has existed for nearly two weeks is settled, if the men today ratify what it is claimed to have been their officer - $20 per week salary and half over $31 of the ‘takings’ - to the Master Barbers’ Association, which, at the ‘bosses’ meeting last night, was accepted.

It is likely the men will stand by the terms accepted by the Masters. Last night the Masters stated they had been given the word of A. A. Aubrey, secretary of the union, that the above mentioned terms would be acceptable to the men now on strike. The master’s accepted the proposition, and they stated it was now up to the men to ratify it, and return to work in their shops this afternoon.

Word of the acceptable of the proposal by the masters was conveyed to the men, and upon receipt, it was expected that a general meeting of the men would be called for this morning, for the purpose of ratifying the proposal.

The masters, in addition to announcing, that they had decided to accept the terms of $20 salary per week with half of the ‘takings’ over $31, said there were still twenty shops of the association which had not signed the new agreement, discounting the three shops which signed yesterday as not having been members of the Masters’ Association.

In the event of the men on strike or the union not meeting this morning or sometime today, to accept and ratify the decision of the masters, another meeting of the Masters’ Association will be held tonight.

“Officials storm shop, overpower prisoner holding man hostage,” The Globe and Mail. May 2, 1979. Page 10.  --- DORCHESTER, N.B. (CP) - A prisoner who had held an employee of the federal penitentiary here hostage since Monday was overpowered last night and placed in solitary confinement.

Gerald Joseph MacDonald, 20, is serving a 14-year term for attempted murder. The only demands he made during the incident, which protracted negotiations failed to end, were for amphetamines, cigarets and a chance to talk with his brother.

Penitentiary officials refused to give Mr. MacDonald the drugs, but sent him cigarets and told him he could talk to his brother after he released his hostage.

Mr. MacDonald had been sniffing a solvent or other liquid in the prison workshop, which a spokesman said made him light-headed and confused. It was at this point authorities decided to storm the shop.

A spokesman at the prison said an emergency response team used a chain saw to hack its way through a wooden door and into the room where Mr. MacDonald was holding his hostage. The team then sprayed him with gas when he tried to run away from his captors.

Neither the prisoner nor shop instructor Robert Chapman, 55, who had been held hostage until Mr. MacDonald was captured, was injured.

Both Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Chapman were put under medical observation to determine their condition, but both were thought to be healthy despite the 27-hour ordeal.

Mr. MacDonald, armed with a sharpened screwdriver, initially grabbed two trades instructors at the prison.

Joseph LeBlanc, 59, of Shediac, N.B., was released after a few hours and treated for stab wounds he received when trying to resist being taken hostage.

Mr. MacDonald probably will be charged this week, but the spokesman did not know what charges police were considering.
