Striking crowds assault Bristol factories halting work
A large crowd of about 1200 strikers rushed the Narragansett Rubber Company plant and disrupted 700 workers, closing both Narragansett and National India Rubber plants indefinitely. The shoe plant of National India Rubber remains idle with 3500 workers out, as pay increases were rejected and a labor agitator influenced the outcome. Local authorities and guards were discussed for protection.
