Strikers Press Work Seekers Across Boston Area

About twenty five Italian workers left Boston early yesterday for Squire's East Cambridge but were turned back by a large strikers crowd at Lechmere square. Some fled at sight of the demonstrators. Mr. Cook denies asking for 150 men, calling it a strikers’ ruse. The strike situation remains unsettled as hogs are slaughtered at the factory and workers are paid off. Union meetings urged members to stand firm while carpenters and other trades discuss eight hour and cooperative shop ideas. Several local notices report strikes and labor actions in Lynn Patten Pittsfield McKeesport and New York with broad workplace disputes.
