Move to Settle Brewery Strike Gains Momentum
A settlement of the brewery strike appears likely soon after the court rules on injunctive actions. The Retail Liquor Dealers Association and union strike committees held a late night conference, with a feasible basis of agreement discussed. Judge Richardson’s decision is due by Wednesday, potentially reopening negotiations. If brewers reinstate all striking workers, unions would accept hiring only union men. The strike has lasted about two and a half weeks with at least 300000 dollars in wages lost and 90000 in benefits paid. Boston area boycott has severely stung master brewers and many saloonkeepers statewide refuse Boston beer.
