Brockton Strike May Spread Across Lines
In Brockton the Ames street power station of the Old Colony Street Railway Company operated at reduced capacity, supplying eight cars while 25 ran to Brockton and nearby towns with power from Bridgewater and Hyde Park. George E. Palmer expects the main generator and engine to be restored tomorrow, enabling 47 cars. A Central Labor Union committee met with District Superintendent Rogers to settle the strike of power house employees, with a potential call to declare the cars unfair if no agreement is reached at tomorrow night’s meeting. The unions total about 7000 members, and action could prompt other stations’ workers to strike. Barge lines between North Easton, Whitman, Stoughton, Rockland, and the Abingtons remained busy serving factory employees and regular riders.
