Parmelee Now Threatened by Employee Strikes and Riots
The Parmelee company faces a potential strike by about 400 drivers and 200 barn men amid a wage dispute, risking crippling passenger and baggage service. Riots in the lumber district left police shootings and injuries from bricks, and deputy sheriff Robert Cantwell was briefly jailed after exchanging gunfire. A judge suspended jail time for contempt in a separate United States court case, while detectives cited a city fireman shouting racist abuse and aiding violence against non union workers, tying Curry to a broader clash with police and labor.
