Anderson Timeline and Summary

Anderson meets Mac and Jim when his son, Al, brings them out from town. He doesn't like their ideas, but he knows that the Growers have him in a tight place.
Anderson agrees to let the men stay on five empty acres of his farmland. In exchange, the workers will pick his apple crop for him.
Anderson gets upset when Al gets beaten and Al's lunch wagon is torched. Mac tries to soothe Anderson by promising to post a guard at the house.
When the tension between the workers and the Growers escalates, Mac visits Anderson again.
The old man has become hostile to them, and Mac has a hard time placating him with the promise of a guard as he transports his crop.
After the fire in the barn that destroys his apples and kills his beloved dogs, Anderson has had enough. He asks the sheriff to evict the workers from his field.
Anderson returns from town to find Mac and Jim visiting with Al. He confirms that he's having them evicted—and gives them a tongue-lashing.
Anderson tells Mac that his dogs have been killed in the fire, too. Anderson accuses Mac and Jim of lacking understanding: they've never owned anything before.
