Orphaned Children Blame Wage Cutting on Road Work
Three Bloomington children and their widow mother allege their poverty followed wage cuts by road paving contractors. John Bennett, 35, drove a 30 cent hourly truck on a spur from College Avenue toward State Road 37 and died after a collision amid rival truck drivers under orders to speed up.
