INDUSTRIAL UNREST
AMERICAN WORKERS PLANNING STRIKE INCREASE IN PAY WANTED Fr*u A»»ociation—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, October 3. It has been disclosed that the Workers’ Alliance of America is planning a strike throughout the nation or an equivalent demonstration at the end of the month.. One million Works Progress Administration workers demand a 20 per cent, increase in pay and a minimum wage of 40 dollars a month. The strike plans will take definite shape when the National Executive Board meets in New York within 10 days under the chairmanship of Mr David Lasser, the national chairman. The demands are virtually the same as those which the alliance has already made in New York and Minnesota without success. Government authorities recently said that in the case of a strike against the Works Progress Administration its projects would be cancelled if necessary. Nevertheless organisers are at present touring the East and mid-West shaping plans for concerted action.
