Before Police Stopped a Sit-Down Employees of the Book-Cadillac Hotel here are shown in the Casino of the Hotel April 1 where they staged a two-hour sit-down strike, due to impatience because negotiations for final settlement of a previous strike appeared to be lagging. The strike lasted until the arrival of police Superintendent Fred Frahm, with two hundred policemen, who threatened to throw them out. Thereupon, the strikers voted unanimously to leave, after agreeing to picket the Hotel.
