Federal Union Begins Campaign For 8 Hour Public Work
The Federal Union leads a drive in the city to enforce the 8 hour workday on public projects. About 100 men on Contractor Riley’s sewer job on Twenty-First Avenue and Madison Street walked off to demand the 8 hour day with no wage cut. Riley suspended crews but could not recruit replacements and may revert to the shorter day. Wages ranged from 1.76 to 2.25 a day, with workers seeking a shorter day without pay loss. Strikes are expected on other sewer and street jobs, and organizers consider leasing tents with cooking gear to send strikers to hop fields to earn a living until contractors concede. Harvest fields may absorb displaced workers for months as the fight continues.
