Boston strike breakers hired for Maine railroad dispute

From a Boston office Bangor & Aroostook railroad officials quietly hire strike breakers to fill engineer and fire men roles in Maine. They offer $5 a day with board and lodging to engineers and $8.75 a day to firemen. Some workers who served as breakers in the Elevated strike have already gone, others wait for better inducements. The company guarantees steady work and retention for starters, while Boston men with little running experience seek engineer pay. A dozen Boston street car men offered to work for the company but demanded $5 a day regardless of job, and were rejected.
