Wichita Firemen Stay In Jail Over Strike Stand
Two leaders of Wichita's firefighters union chose to remain jailed rather than sign an agreement barring further participation in their nine day old strike. Bond was set at $1,000 each for union president Bill Cook and vice president John Robinson for contempt. Police and fire protections are in place as talks with the city stalled after multiple rejected offers.
