Defense plants strike ties as idle workers halt defense orders
Milwaukee factory officials say the Allen-Chalmers plant will not reopen Tuesday despite a truce with U S Union Walkers. Nine thousand workers remain idle for a fourth week over 45 million dollars in national defense orders. Knudsen Hillman plan for arbitration and a possible closed shop sparked ratification delays. Separate actions include a funds dispute at Charlestown Ind and Vanadium Inc production stoppages. A Chicago McCormick works strike vote follows pro labor actions at other International Harvester plants. New Braunfels names A Clousnitzer to city development board, filling Scruggs vacancy.
