Labor dispute at Fraverhill threatens strike action
In Fraverhill on February 7, a price list agreed by the Boot and Shoe Cutters Union and Chick Bros sets a Feb 8 start and runs to July 1 1891. The firm can discharge workers for poor work or insubordination, with contracts ending July 11 1890. Spaulding hires new cutters at 16 dollars weekly while the union resists. Fifteen at work today, twenty five expected tomorrow amid ongoing K of L and New England Shoe Cutters tensions. Maxwell moves from Quinby Whittier to Spaulding, provoking union discontent.
