Speedway Carpenters Near Strike.

Attempt by a state militiaman doing guaaxl duty at the new speedway in Chicago to enforce rules against the drinking of intoxicants on the grounds, resulted in a walkout of carpenters working on the grandstand Friday. Four hundred carpenters and 1,200 laborers quit work and a strike that might delay the completion of the stands was said to be likely. Later; the trouble between the workmen and the militiamen was patched up and the men who quit work resumed their tasks.
