Strike at Clark's Thread Works in Newark
One hundred twenty men and boys at Clark's O N T thread works in East Newark began a strike over a 15 percent wage cut. Helpers kept pay, but quit to avoid taking spinner jobs. Clark says operations remain unaffected as the dispute may widen to other mills with about two thousand workers involved. The cause is blamed on new superintendent Walmsley, a Scottish manager aiming to push wages to Scottish levels.
