Milwaukee police use fortress to break picket lines
Milwaukee officers deploy a rolling fortress with armor and tear gas to disperse strikers at the Al lis Chalmer Manufacturing plant as workers report back to duty amid a national defense driven walkout.

In Kentucky, two men are shot during a mine workers dispute tied to a CIO order for a walkout, as union leaders push for a new contract in Appalachia.
