STRIKE OF LIFTMEN
RADIO CITY HELD UP' (Received Sept. 24, 11.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 23 Thousands of office workers trudged up endless flights of stairs in the twelve buildings comprising Radio City following a lift-drivers’ strike. The area embraces some of the tallest buildings in the world. The police formed queues of thousands of persons waiting in the lobby of the 70-storey R.C.A. building, where only two of the 40 lifts were working. Other skyscrapers were completely liftless. The strike affected 27,000 people regularly employed in the buildings, which are visited by 60.000 daily. In addition to the liftmen, who have broken away from their union, charwomen went on strike.
