LASOR TROUBLES Two Strikes of Small Proportions Reported
About 35 to 40 freight handlers at Lake Shore transfer sheds in the gravity yard struck for a ten hour day and $1.75 daily pay. They had been paid 16 cents an hour after raises from 14 and 15 cents. The dispute mirrors earlier wage friction at Northern Indiana sliding project on Main Street near Prairie where workers objected to 6 o'clock quitting and overtime rules. The agreement provides ten hours and rides to work on company time, but return trips on workers’ time. Overtime for 11 and 12 hour days prompted the initial walkout, resumed after assurances of overtime for those starting at 6 or working past closing.
