- Description:
- In this letter, intended for dsitribution to other mill presidents, Oscar Elsas gives a summary of events surrounding the strike at Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills. He states that the company does not wish to give in to Union demands, since that would mean "the recognition of the unions." He also complains about the indifference of the Atlanta police force in dealing with the strikers.
