Expressmen Form Local Union to Combat American Express
Yesterday afternoon fifty-one of sixty-two local expressmen met at the Quincy House to organize a union. Officers include President L. J. Presson, Secretary H. L. Jackson, Treasurer J. W. Tapley, with an executive committee empowered to act and seek redress through the State Legislature. A $1500 fund was raised for campaign costs, and negotiations with the Boston & Maine railroad indicated progress. The group aims to protect local lines from absorption and may expand activity from Boston. An immediate note adds American Express has leased a store on Washington Street for its own office, signaling independent operations.
