Last Packing Strike Ends as Workers Return to Wilson Plants
The CIO Packinghouse Workers strike collapsed Monday with workers at seven Wilson and Company plants returning to duty after a two day walkout. The union had struck Wilson, Armour, Swift, Cudahy and others since March 16, but accepted a nine-cent hourly wage increase offered by Packers on May 21 except at Wilson. Wilson says no recent talks and workers will be rehired only as work is available. In Philadelphia, the CIO Rubber Workers foresee a possible strike at B. F. Goodrich around July 11 over a 30-cent demand, while Los Angeles streetcar talks avoided a citywide strike after a five-cent raise and arbitration.
