LABOUR UNREST IN AMERICA
BOLD STAND BY UNIONS HOLD-UP IN MOTOR INDUSTRY United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received April 24. 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK. April 23. A message from Cleveland states that 10.000 workers at the Fisher Automobile Body Company, which supplies many bodies to General Motors, struck there at the St. Louis plan to-day, demanding their employers to recognise their union and grant a substantial pay increase. The strikers’ claim almost completely halted production, but the plant manager says that it is not seriously handicapped. Several persons were slightly injured in scuffling between strikers and non-strikers who attempted to enter the plant at Cleveland. The Automobile Labour Board, appointed by President Roosevelt is attempting to negotiate the differences.
