Lincoln assigns blame to Brine company in teamsters dispute
Mr. W. H. Lincoln, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, says he did not know if the Brine company was represented at meetings. He explains the dispute centered on Article 7 of the agreement requiring hiring preference for Team Drivers' International Union members of equal skill. He notes the Brine company allegedly underbids and pays workers less, causing distrust, and discusses the risk to business if clashes with unions continue. He acting as mediator says the settlement was mutual compromise, not a victory for any side, and warns that further conflicts could halt steamship and rail service.
