Passaic Strike Ends After Company Concession
Textile strikers in Passaic have accepted a president letter as a basis for peace and voted to end the strike. The letter stops short of recognizing the United Textile Workers Union but marks a concession and signals a shift away from the previous anti union stance. Other mills in Passaic and nearby towns also suspend strikes on similar terms, though tension remains at Botany Mills and several others as workers prepare to challenge unionization again. The dispute began over a 10 percent wage cut with police and authorities aiding the employers in attempts to break solidarity.
