San Francisco Strike Aims Eight Hour Day For Millmen
The Millmen's Union backed by the Building Trades Council began its drive for an eight hour day in San Francisco. A strike was ordered as mills consider using nonunion workers or closing until an adjustment. In four San Francisco mills and Oakland, union workers were paid off after refusing to return to the old schedule. If no understanding is reached, Andrew Wilkie warns building could halt and 15,000 tradesmen face unemployment. The demand is for eight hours pay at the current nine hour rate, with no wage increase.
