Labor Day Troubles Between Iron Molders and Cigar Makers
The labor day committee admitted Knights of Labor to the parade, a move seen as easing long standing tensions with unions. Crosby notes two dissenters the cigar makers and iron molders who opposed the show. He cites the Rochester combine as an anti labor group with a 165000 fund seeking to destroy the Knights. A next labor day meeting is planned to settle the dispute and restore harmony without triggering further strikes.
