Found this image while tumbling along and it made me grin.
Protesters storm a car full of workers leaving the strike-bound Allis-Chalmers plant in Milwaukee in 1946. We’re good at this in Wisconsin; we can do this for a long time.
Government officials were about ready to give up last week and admit that the Allis-Chalmers strike, worst labor snarl since the defense program got under way, had them stumped. Still shut tight at week’s end, after 52 days of wrangling, was the Allis-Chalmers plant in Milwaukee.
Overworked John R. Steelman, chief of the U. S. Conciliation Service, returned to Washington at week’s end, red-eyed and haggard after a trip to Milwaukee. He poured a tale of woe into the ear of his boss, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins.
This week Secretary Perkins and Sidney Hillman emerged from a conference with Mr. Roosevelt, announced that the President would appoint an eleven-man mediation board to adjust disputes. It was high time, breathed many a U. S. citizen, that somebody did something.
