Strike by C.10 Ties Farmers to Tractor Shortages
An apparent C.10 strike at the Oliver Tractor & Implement Co. plant in Charles City cuts farm equipment supply nationwide. J. L. Wilson says South Bend plow works also struck. eleven plants of one maker and five of another are idle. The union seeks a 132 percent wage increase, risking plant shutdowns and higher tractor prices. The company offered boosts to wages around 56 percent over 1941 earnings, with overtime pay for excess hours, to avert the strike. Farmers facing shortages and rising costs wooed by wartime prudence fear further hardship as war-era demand remains high.
