May 26, 1903, was a day of high tensions in Indianapolis as labor disputes simmered, threatening to boil over into all-out chaos. The Central Labor Union, a coalition of local workers, had grown frustrated with the National Vehicle Company’s refusal to meet their demands. A special committee, comprised of Delegate Ewald Feltman, Simon, and Travis, was hastily assembled to tackle the issue. Charged with investigating the company’s management and negotiating a resolution, the committee was authorized to pursue a boycott with renewed vigor.
