General strike threat faces iron and steel workers
Thursday's Daily reports a country wide threat of a general strike by iron and steel workers over working conditions and wages. Judge Gary of United States Steel argues against dictation by amalgamated unions, noting laypersons lack steel trade knowledge and that clerks and other office workers also play vital roles in industry. The piece questions broader union power, compares police and military roles, and warns of societal disruption if organized labor extends beyond actual craftsmen.
