Berlin Iron Bridge Co pays workers with envelopes amid wage debate
The Berlin Iron Bridge Company, a Connecticut corporation, is the first to pay employees with envelopes from the envelope trust. One worker received under $650 for a week, and his envelope asked whether American or English wages should be paid. A London People excerpt is cited as a Republican document quote. The London paper is a low-cost Sunday organ with condensed news and sensational fiction, having little influence, per a London correspondent for the New York Evening Post. The piece contrasts warnings of a surplus feeding speculation with questions about which surplus is being discussed in Democratic and press editorials.
