Rival Unions Close Plant In Ohio City
Federal conciliators and Toledo officials move to settle a jurisdiction dispute at Textileather Corp. 81 CIO workers were escorted from the idle plant as AFL pickets stood guard. The plant had closed after unions claimed bargaining rights, with about 100 AFL workers marching to the factory. Two dozen sheriff’s deputies guarded the exit amid six and a half hours inside without food. A separate Ohio action saw 185 Claycraft Co. workers walk out in Columbus seeking higher pay and a closed shop. The Timken plant in Columbus faced protests over alleged layoffs of five women for union activity. Sugar Creek area brick plants settled, granting a five cent raise after a threatened 10 cent rise. In San Francisco, 6000 Sailors Union of the Pacific members voted to strike over foreign crews on Denmark ships seized by the government, a wave to operate ships under the Panamanian flag with foreign crews.
