Bakers Escape Net in Chicago Labor Strife
In Chicago a group of bakers linked to Union No 2 faced conspiracy charges amid a strike wave challenging wealthy bakers demanding wage reductions. A striker, Henry Piab, was killed by a gunman, and a mob raided union HQ last August, seizing records and detaining 42 members. Bail was set high by Phow Carey, a wealthy manufacturer. The strike's persistence grew as bakers pressed against the financiers. Nearby, Mac Leon W. Quick, treasurer of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, was found shot in his garage, adding to a climate of violence surrounding labor conflicts and political messaging urging voters to back or oppose tax policies and leaders.
