Pay Hike Ends Bell Telephone Strike in Ohio
The week-long strike by Ohio Bell Telephone Co. workers ended with a pay raise, while a broader national stoppage affected 46,000 Western Electric employees across 43 states. Union leaders warned workers would not cross picket lines if established, as Western Electric and Bell System negotiators remain far apart. Other large scale actions include 30,000 AFL commercial telegraphers striking Western Union, with no settlement in sight.
