Jamestown Aug 11. About one hundred men at the Gurney Ball Bearing factory walked out after manager W. Baker refused to meet a union committee regarding reinstatement of eighteen discharged workers. A meeting at the Central Labor Hall planned a conference with the Mine workers union to press for returns to work, citing past union activity and wage concerns. The workforce had signed a petition demanding an eight hour extension and overtime pay, while management maintained the two month old order and offered no immediate reinstatement or extra pay.
