Grain Elevators Reach Settlement Ending Kansas City Strike
Kansas City area grain elevators resume near normal operations after Local 16 of the AA Grain Millers unanimously accepts an eight cent hourly wage increase. Bartlett and Co joins, aborting profit sharing. New terms include health welfare and pension talks in September, extra Good Friday holiday, funeral leave, and a fourth vacation week after 25 years. Embargo on new grain shipments had worsened railcar backlog of about 5,000. Governors call for quick end to prevent spoilage as harvest peaks.
