Royal Air Force planes and naval
seaplanes raided the city amid a
deafening blast of anti-aircraft
guns.
Overawing the city, following
recent anti-British riots, the

noise of traffic. Windows ratified
in the din of anti-aircraft batter

POLICE WATCH
WPAST STRIKE

CHICAGO, Nov. 81 Q.N.S3.-
Special police details were assign
ed to guard Chicago relief sta.
tions today to prevent possible dis
orders as WPA officials struggled
to prevent the strike of 1900 WPA
laborers yesterday from spreading
to other Federal Works Progress
Administration projects.
The 1900 men working on a
landscaping project at Riis Park
struck because, they declared, they
had been working since october
81 without being paid, that they
had been taken off the relief roles,
and that their families are in dire
need.
Handbills circulated among the
strikers demanded regular weekly
pay days, the right to build fires
during cold weather, and other
comfort facilities.
WPA officials said the strike
was being agitated by C Communists,
while Ralph H. Burke, Deupty
WPA Administrator for the State,
said the strike was merely be-
cause Of a misunderstanding over
the date the pay checks were due.
He said the men are scheduled to
be paid tomorrow, and the checks
will be ready.
Another strike threatened to
tie up WPA work today, as 1000
men leveling spoilage banks along
the sanitary canal considered a
Walkout.
