WOOLWORTH STRIKERS
Request To Miss Barbara
Hutton
(Received December 19, 6.30 p.m.) New York, December 17. Pickets at three Woolworth stores where the personnel was on strike carried placards derisively commenting on the decision of the Woolworth heiress, Miss Barbara Hutton, to renounce her American citizenship. They also sent her a wireless message asking her to instruct “the Woolworth management to concede a living wage to the thousands now existing on a starvation wage.” Tiie strikers agreed to return to work pending negotiations.
