Are the Lowell Leaders Playing Bluff Inspiration From Boston
Lowart reports growing evidence that the Lowell leaders in the car penters strike bluff and that Walking Delegate Clinkard of Boston exaggerates an early settlement. Many strikers have returned to ten hour work days, one man receiving 15 dollars in six weeks from the strike fund seeks other work, and a Boston union emissary pressures a contractor’s wife to persuade his cooperation. The drive to prolong the strike appears fueled by agitators promoting personal stakes in the conflict.
