Telegram to Gompers on Illinois Central strike
A telegram was sent to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, from E G Pullen representing Illinois Central shopmen in Waterloo Iowa. It asks AFL action to address the strike during the Georgia convention and describes current conditions on the railroad division and seeks leadership guidance. The union plans to invite J K D Buckales of the International Machinists union to visit and speak. Proceeds from a benefit performance at Columbia theater will aid strikers. The county aids the poor with coal and food as prices rise due to weather.
