Mega Strike-Breaker

To (finally) continue with the WWII newspapers, here is a picture of the front page of The Chicago Sun from April 27, 1944.

The headline here is making reference to the Montgomery Ward production plants. It seems that Sewell Avery, who was the acting head of Montgomery Ward, didn't want to bargain with the unions and his workers went on strike. Strikes during wartime were a big no-no to FDR, so the Ward plants where the workers were striking were seized by the government, effectively ending any and all resistence. If you want to read more about it, I found FDR's actual opinion on it here.
