Chicago Strikers See Limited Walkouts Amid National Labor Tensions
Chicago reports show only seamen, cigarmakers and carpenters signaling a strike while major lines run normally. Labor councils push for broad action by Saturday, with 26 affiliated unions under the Building and Trades council backing a general strike and warnings to avoid railroad property. A Cleveland telegram from Grandmaster Sovereign is denied as a factor. Pittsburgh area unions weigh restraint and potential cross-rail aid remains uncertain. Officials in Washington report Chicago quiet as the nation watches labor unrest with troops observed in the field.
