City Cannot Dictate Wages to Brookline Gas
In 1893 Brookline tension rose as strikers demanded $2 for nine hours and questioned whether city officials could compel the Brookline Gas Light Company to pay city rates. Acting Mayor John H. Lee and Mayor Matthews examined the issue, noting the city lacks power to set wages or hours, and urged legislative change to empower towns and regulate public utilities. Dr. Amory pledged to aid in resolving the dispute.
