One Strike Affects Defense Efforts Says Hillman
The labor division led by Sid Hillman reports only one current strike is major to the defense program. A stoppage at Breckinridge Machine Co in Cleveland involves about 250 United Automobile Workers at the Breckinridge plant on November 17 in a bid for age adjustments and union security. Production in nine minor strikes could be affected elsewhere but not drastically, officials say, though the Breckinridge stoppage tied up a surge of shell casings and machinery.
