Chicago printers strike expands amid long battle over closed shop
In Chicago a new labor war reaches an acute stage as nineteen large printing houses operate without union pressmen. Typographical Union No 16 presses for a closed shop battle against the Typothetae. Strikes threaten further shops and a spread to other cities with about five hundred idle workers and nearly five hundred more poised to join. Some houses remain neutral while others pledge noninterference. The conflict centers on eight hour days and union composition, with reports of intensified action from Poole Bros and Donohue & Co and the Methodist Book Concern. The Typothetae secretary disputes union plans and predicts the dispute will be resolved without crippling the city’s printing capacity.
