Half Million May
Be Idle Due To
Strike Threats
New storm warning are hoisted
along the country’s labor front as
a fresh major dispute threatened
forces of more than half a million
workers. The newest controversy
centered around the walkout of
six thousand textile workers in the
Paterson, N. J., area and closed
seventy plants.
CIO officials said the walkout
may mean that within twenty-four
hours sixty-eight thousand addi
tional workers will be forced from
their jobs in two hundred fourteen
plants in nine eastern and south
ern states.
In the event of this development
the number of workers idle be
cause of strikes and shutdowns
over labor disputes will soar past
the two million mark, including
the million and a half affected in
directly by the New York City
building service strike.
Meanwhile the threatened na
tionwide strike of two hundred
fifty thousand CIO oil workers
was delayed after a meeting of
three days in Chicago. Principals
in the conciliation conference
moved to Washington to resume
their efforts tomorrow to effect a
settlement of the dispute over
wage demands and the thirteen
day old strike of some thirty-five
thousand workers in eight states
asking for a thirty percent wage
increase.

the North Pacific and our west
coast.”
