Eliot Plan Chimerical Examined by Labor Panel
Miss Emily Green Balch and William H Sayward addressed the Congregational Union at Jamaica Plain on President Eliot’s plan to consolidate labor issues. Sayward argued the plan is chimerical and warned of costs from a single building trade strike while advocating voluntary trade agreements and state chartered unions bound by written conditions. Balch blamed the era’s wage dynamics for strikes and praised the political training of trades unions as superior to that of other organizations.
