Express Drivers Gall Off Strike Threats in Early Flurry
Drivers and depot truckmen of the American Express company did not strike today after an ultimatum to manager AG Morrigan. The walkout was called off as wages with back pay from Jan 1 1919 were promised but the payment date was not set. Employers claim no issue with the union and few wagons ran, while strike activity centers at Central Labor Temple and Hotel Ellis.
