General Strike Looms Against American Bridge Company
The International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers orders a nationwide strike against the American Bridge company set to begin August 9. An estimated 15 000 to 20 000 workers may quit, delaying major projects from coast to coast amid labor disputes over sub letting contracts to a Boston firm. The action follows friction over a 3 000 ton Boston subcontract and a New Haven railroad contract.
