Tailor Strike May Spread Across City and Stores
Indications Tuesday show the 500 tailors strike, begun Monday, may expand to bushelmen and alteration hands in stores handling ready made clothing. Seattle tailors join a coastwide walkout seeking wage raises from 36 to 44 dollars weekly, a closed shop, and reclassification to create more journeymen. Journeymen would gain one helper, with overtime limited to four hours weekly at double pay, a key point of contention with master tailors.
