Eight Hour Strikes Sweep Chicago and Nearby Cities
Chicago and surrounding areas see massive labor unrest as workers press for eight hours with ten hours pay. Factories in furniture, lumber, iron, and packing sectors shut down while rail yards and freight handles walk off the job. Estimates show up to 100000 out on strike with varied employer resistance and partial concessions.
