Carpenters Reach Wage Agreement in Des Moines
Des Moines reports a settlement ending a Monday strike by carpenters and master builders over pay. A new wage schedule was signed, with a small plumbers’ group starting a separate strike. Work will resume immediately as conditions ease. The Democratic state committee plans to complete the ticket and arrange a special train to Baltimore for the national convention. Waterloo is chosen for the Iowa State Dairy association annual meeting in October. Interurban service to Fort Dodge is restored after a temporary Frazer bridge repair, and the Des Moines River flood danger passes.
