Ogden Gas Plant Struck By Unnamed Mob Halting Service
About fifteen nonunion workers quit after wage increases of 133 percent since 1916. An unorganized mob drove out supervisors Thursday, shutting the plant. Twenty applicants remained ready to fill vacancies, but mob violence halted operations. The company seeks law and order protection to resume gas service, and promises to rehire former workers at current wages if they return.
