Poles Set Claim of Wages Against Wrecking Company
Four Poles who led a strike at the United States Wrecking Company in Catherine Street say they were brought to the city from New York, given promises of good pay and boarding, and forced to sleep in the yard with little food. They accuse officials of failure to supply shelter or full wages and have consulted counsel to recover money due. A local attorney has taken the case but declines to publicize his name. The Journal could not contact company heads for comment.
