Union activity and wage notes across several states
The document details varied labor conditions including Indiana and Louisville wage figures for electricians and tobacco workers, New York clerks joining the K of L, Chicago and Buffalo building trades wages, and several strikes or proposed actions. It notes union membership totals, wage scales, reinstatement fees, and pending organizer efforts across multiple cities and industries.

The Supreme Court decision could compel the city to pay about 8 million dollars in wage claims tied to union rates. Wages lag behind living costs, raising protests from labor as prices stay high and workers struggle to live.

Bids were invited and Peter Praechter won at 236 dollars but the work had already been completed by the association. The contract was rescinded and all bids rejected.
