Wheelmakers Union Disbands and Returns to Work
The Wheelmakers' Union voted to surrender its charter and abandon the strike at Mutual Wheel Company after about a month of action. About 60 workers initially walked out, but two thirds did not support the strike and returned to their jobs, weakening the union. The national officer failed to return, leaving the company potentially ready to rehire most striking workers except 15 to 20 who were discharged.
