Grits and Gleams of a Pittsburgh Strike Turmoil
A Gazette wire report from Fitzsburg on August 13 describes explosions near a mill as a joke that killed two Black workers. The piece tracks light changes in strike conditions across centers like McKeesport and Wheeling, with unions expanding in McKeesport and other plants preparing to resume or join work under watchful police and non union forces. It notes leadership updates, potential talks, and shifting plans at American Tin Plate and National Tube, while detailing city responses and broader national implications.
