Butte Relief Workers Strike at FERA Projects
About half of the nearly 600 relief workers employed under FERA in the Butte district went on strike yesterday. The action involves common laborers, carpenters, electricians and other trades, protesting reinstatement of a discharged worker, union supervision of government truck hiring, higher cash budgets, more relief workers, and fewer regular packing house staff. The Hansen Packing plant crews are not affected, and AFL unions outside the strike are unaffected.
