Citizens Hold Vote in Clinton Strike
In Clinton, state police and sheriff's deputies watched as strikebound Clinton Machine Co plants stayed idle despite a poll showing 215 of 234 workers favoring a return to work with an eight cent hourly raise plus a bonus. Seventeen percent of the workforce favored remaining on strike. A 40 person picket line circulated outside the main plant under CIO involvement, with company officials disputing how many picketers were plant employees. The line was abandoned at 11 a.m. as prospects for entry appeared unlikely, while company leaders left the decision to the workers.
