Italian State Workers Strike For Higher Pay
LONDON, Oct. 14.
“About 1,000,000 State workers began a nation-wide strike in Italy this morning in demand for higher pay,” says the Rome correspondent of the Associated Press. “Strong police forces broke up gatherings of as few as two persons, saying that it was forbidden to stop and talk in the streets.
“The striking civil servants were absent from work from one to nine hours. This is the first time Italian white-collar workers have gone on strike on a big scale. It was called by the Communists and reluctantly agreed to by the anti-Communists Christian trade unions.”
