Thank you for posting. This is somewhat similar to the strike by Philadelphia street car operators. In July, 1944; the agency running Philadelphia street cars followed FEPC regulations and promoted 8 African American men to operate the street cars. The white motormen went on
strike on August 1 to protest. Street car service stopped so the production of munitions in Philadelphia also stopped. On August 3, President Roosevelt used his war powers to have the federal government take over the Philadelphia street car system. A major general was appointed to run the system. He negotiated with the white workers but go no where. On
August 7, the Roosevelt Administration announced that any strikers who did not report for their next shift would be immediately subject to the draft and would lose the right to work in any defense industry for the duration of the war. That immediately ended the strike. This was similar to the strategy that Secretary of Navy Knox used when he ended the hate strike at the Hudson plant on Conner the year before.
