Strikes Rally Major Firms in Cincinnati Alliance
A coalition of large firms including Westinghouse systems, Yale Lock, Colt Arm Company and others in Cincinnati vows to halt work if strikes occur. Workers who left other plants remain idle, and no factory will hire them. The alliance claims their workers' actions prompted this move, affecting 50,000 to 100,000 employees and supporting up to 250,000 people indirectly. The Frick Coke Company meanwhile sues striking employees for 100,000, citing breach of contract and poised to withhold 27,000 in wages as the broader labor dispute looms.
