World’s Fair trades strike over nonunion dismissals
About 6 000 building trades workers left their jobs at the World’s Fair grounds after a Sunday meeting of the Building Trades Council. They charge bad faith for refusing arbitration and seek the dismissal of nonunion workers, while officials insist union and nonunion hires were agreed two years ago. Tailors plan sympathy action and seek ten hour workdays and abolition of sweating, with a formal conference to discuss the strike.
