Wright Plant Strikers Face Firing If They Do Not Return
About 15,000 Wright Aeronautical workers at the Lockland Ohio plant were idle as production lagged behind pace. Plant manager William D. Kennedy warned that strikers who do not resume work by tomorrow will be discharged. The ultimatum followed a War Labor Board order for resumption and discussions with Army and CIO union reps. Numerous other labor stoppages affected plants in St. Louis York and Milwaukee with closures and walkouts.
