Strike Begins at Shipyards in Chicago
About 200 shipwrights and boilermakers at the Chicago Shipbuilding Co on One Hundred and First Street and the Calumet River walked out over wage cuts of $2.50 to $3 a day for nine hours. Contractors planned to use non union workers if needed, but a joint arbitration board averted a wider clash with the Builders' Association. The strike against materials from Commercial Sash and Door was called off and two hundred men returned to work as concessions were reported.
