Knitting Mill Strike Shuts Fort Wayne Industry
Fort Wayne knitting mills employing eight hundred workers remain closed after a wage dispute escalated into a sympathetic strike led by young women. Manager Theodore F. Thieme refuses to restore the old scale, and ownership includes leading city capitalists. In Lafayette, Indiana telegraph girls win 9 cents an hour after a brief walkout. In Muncie, Hemingray's glass plant stalls over a 6 cent wage rise, with seventy to one hundred workers affected. Clinton carpenters settle after union-led talks, securing wage gains and future union-only hiring, while remaining work may continue under prior terms.
