LIFTMEN ON STRIKE
PROBLEM FOR RADIO CITY
Rec. 11 a.m.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23,
Thousands of office workers trudged up endless flights of stairs in the 12 buildings comprising Radio City following a lift-drivers' strike. The area embraces some of the tallest buildings in the world. Police formed queues of thousands of persons waiting in the lobby of the seventy-storey R.C.A. Building, where only two of 40 lifts are working. Other, skyscrapers are completely without lifts. The strike affected 27,000 regularly employed in buildings which are visited by 60,000 persons daily. In addition to the liftmen, who have broken away from their union, the charwomen are on strike.
