Labor Problems and English Strikers Aid
The State convention of barbers met in Bakers Hall to push a barbers license bill with delegates from Lawrence, Fall River, Waltham, Cambridge, Brockton, Worcester and Boston. Boston Barbers Union elected leaders and formed a permanent state group as nine unions pledged to send delegates. Shorter workday mobilization by Machinists Lodge 20 shows near universal support across South Boston shops and 150 new members in a month. The Dome Painting dispute between Painters Union and the State House Commission triggered a protest letter from Endicott's committee defending proper prep work and contract adherence. Boston Amalgamated Society of Engineers plans to aid English strikers, with committees to solicit funds locally and across Massachusetts and data on union benefits and treasury.
