U S May Intervene in Aluminum Strike at A Alloys Plant
At New Kensington Pennsylvania on November 23 a CIO strike over one man keeps 7 500 employees idle at the Aluminum Company of America plants and two locals of the Aluminum Workers Union remain deadlocked after the union demands the discharge of a sheet mill worker accused of threatening a union official. US Labor Department conciliator E C McDonald arrived at the request of the National Defense Commission to seek settlement as mills stay closed for a second day. Union business agent John Haser says strikers insist the worker be fired, citing knife and monkey wrench threats against several employees. The company calls the demand unjust and refuses action.
