Strike at Shelton Looms Turns Into Major Labor Clash
Workers at the Shelton Looms wage dispute disrupts operations amid a 800000 annual turnover in 1924. Weavers earning about 35 dollars weekly face 68 cents per hour with piecework incentives and a 10 percent wage cut after bonuses halted. Reports claim German materials and large contracts influence costs, while management chiefs travel to New York for talks. Committees, not a single leader, seek an accord as strikers resist two-looms-per-operator demands and demand higher pay while industry officials prepare to respond.
