Baseball Guild Strike At Forbes Field Tonight
Pittsburgh faced the threat of a first national baseball strike as the Pittsburgh Firate of the American Baseball Guild eyed not taking the field against the New York Giants unless a NLRB bargaining election was granted. Guild officials argued most Pirates are organized and warned they could field no regular infield if play proceeded. Pirates president Benswanger claimed no strike was planned while labor leaders urged action.
