Bridge Commission Eyes Arbitration On Behrens Plan
The Yellow Mill bridge dispute between C W Blakeslee and Sons of New Haven and local unions heads for mediation at the next Bridge Commission meeting on August 3. Mayor Behrens outlined that both sides will be asked to attend after a prior New Haven conference with Clarence Blakeslee failed to satisfy Building Trades officials. Blakeslee has offered to pay 0 cents for a nine hour day rather than the union rate of 1.25 for eight hours, arguing bids and contract terms governed the wage. The commission previously pledged a further hearing if discussions with Blakeslee did not resolve the dispute.
