"Picketing by the CIO Beer Bottlers Union Local 187 was extended yesterday to the entire plant of Anheuser-Busch, Inc., forcing the complete shutdown of production. Pickets shown here are in front of the corn products plant and lager beer cellars near Ninth and Pestalozzi streets. The Anheuser-Busch shutdown was followed by a production stoppage at the Hyde Park Brewwery, where picket lines were set up by the Warehouse and Distribution Workers Local 688 of the AFL Teamsters Union, which threatened to extend the picketing to other breweries."
