Moooonnneeey! There were gobs of strikes during the war, and in vital war industries. Really shameful. And it made the servicemen furious! Once a group of sailors collected dimes and sent them to striking workers to entice them back to work - and to make a sarcastic point.
interesting they would strike during a time of warfare ... wonder what that was all about!
