Milwaukee Trolley Strike Ends After Four Day Walkout
Peace returned to Milwaukee as a four day strike by Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company workers ended with a settlement. The pact requires reinstatement of 13 discharged employees and returns strikers to their former jobs while outlining collective bargaining agent selection and efforts to restore the Blue Eagle logo for the utility. Power and light service were restored after rapid mobilization and truces, avoiding further disorder.
