Excessive Heat Forces Crane Plant to Close
Excessive heat forced eight Crane company shops and foundries in Chicago to shut down, laying off about 5,000 workers. J B Berryman said the superheated conditions made it impossible to work. Heat prostrations and deaths were reported nationwide with no relief in sight. The Weather Bureau predicted warm conditions east of the Mississippi for the next 84 hours, with slight relief unlikely before Saturday. In North Tonawanda Louise Black, 62, died from heat, the day’s first fatality. A man died in Lake Michigan amid waves of heat. Five others also died from heat-related causes in the past 24 hours.
