Strike Ends Near as Teamsters Rift Widens
Chicago observers say the 10 week strike and grand jury probe are nearing end. A new strike committee and Employers' association talks with J. W. Farwell Jr. push a settlement, with firms unwilling to concede and drivers recalled only as vacancies arise. Stampede for work grows as hundreds seek old jobs while talks hint at few indictments. The grand jury adjourns soon with uncertain outcomes on brick industry graft charges.
