Governors. The growth of anti-strike sentiment in Michigan was a blow to union hopes. Strike Leader Bittner let it be known that $1,300,000 had already been spent on the steel drive. The union had won a point when Mayor Burton of Cleveland revoked Republic's permit for use of the airport from which planes had provisioned its strike-bound plants in Ohio.
