Roosevelt asked to end steel strike amid gunfire clashes
President Roosevelt was urged to intervene to halt the steel strike as gunfire shattered a sabbath calm. Leaders mobilized supporters in a show of strength against three steel producers for bargaining contracts. An appeal from Calumet region workers reached Washington, the first direct White House request since May 26. Across Indiana Harbor 4000 rallied while Canton heard Murray, chief of the BWOC, address 5000. An arrest bid targeted Republic Steel chair Tom Girdler for possessing munitions of war. Night shootings near Canton and tensions around South Chicago health regulations shadow the events as property protections are sought. A separate report from Storx Falls notes Norman Westberg and Howard Christensen, blacksmiths, sentenced to life in prison for a schoolteacher’s slaying.
