Progress in Settling Labor Disputes Amid Farm Strike Tension
Reports say progress toward settlement of industrial disputes continues but farm strike tensions remain high. A request for state troops from Sioux City Mayor Clyde C. Graynes was shelved by Iowa Governor Clyde Herring. Tool and die makers settle in Detroit plants and other factories, with wage agreements sending hundreds back to work. Coal miners return in Pennsylvania soft coal fields, while northeastern hard coal diggers strike in response to a flagging insurgent effort. A railway bridge arson near Sioux City and another fire between Meriden and Cleghorn heighten the sense of crisis as Sioux City businessmen again press for troops.
