An effort to settle the Lynn shoe strike failed as the Arbitration Committee of the Board of Trade heard proposals from the Boot and Shoe Workers' Union and the Knights of Labor cutters but found no common ground. The union offered to reinstate strikers and fund dues for the unemployed, while requiring workers 16 to 60 in stamp factories to join if employed. The Knights of Labor cutters criticized provisions as coercive and sought compulsory arbitration for differences and three year contracts. No disturbances occurred as workers passed to and from plants.
