Memorial Day clash in Chicago pits police and strikers
A coroner's jury of American Legion members heard testimony on a Memorial Day riot in Chicago where police and steel strikers clashed. Police said strikers had guns and clubs and sparked the fight, while Gus Yuratovik, leader of the Iron Workers union lodge, claimed police surrounded them and opened fire after tear gas was deployed. Senators and film evidence also noted police beating fleeing demonstrators, though Chicago police blocked the film’s display.
