Murphy Scoffs At Benswanger In Pittsburgh Baseball Strike
Pittsburgh faced the possibility of history as Pirates players, newly organized in the American Baseball Guild, threatened to strike unless a National Labor Relations Board consent election is granted. Guild labor-relations director Robert Murphy said most Pirates are organized and warned of roster issues if games proceed. Pirates president William Benswanger dismissed imminent strike plans while the CIO steel city council backed the guild, urging a vote for a consent election. The guild aims to organize nationwide. Pittsburgh was chosen as a testing ground for strong union support. The threat followed a dispute over the course of legal action versus mid-season contract changes.
