Philadelphia unions denounce Gobin over antistrike order
The Central Labor Union of Philadelphia unanimously denounces Brig. Gen. Gobin in charge at the anthracite fields for ordering troops to shoot strikers. It calls for Gobin’s commission to be revoked and for indictment of the general, with Gov. Stone urged to cancel the commission. A protest letter urged over a broken promise to keep troops from escorting nonunion men. An Edwardsville guard increase follows a fierce mood after a guard’s alleged threat regarding starving strikers’ children.
