Georgetown unrest and labor standoff reflections
Tensions persisted as workers awaited union leaders' decision on returning to work. Rioting between Negroes and East Indians in Georgetown left six dead, many injured, and $11 million in damage after a weekend blaze that destroyed the town center and East Indian shops. Jagan, an East Indian, drew support from East Indian farmers. Forbes Burnham backed by Negroes. Relief came Sunday as labor leaders announced a week-long strike was called off following three and a half hours of talks with Jagan, with one negotiator noting a series of concessions agreed.
