Wage Dispute Between Gold Beaters and Boston Employers

It quotes the executive committee arguing against unskilled labor, notes that wages previously ranged around 6.20 dollars, claims some firms paid 3.20, and details proposed wage offers and union-backed work stoppages. It states U.S. wages before the strike were four cents per book, with a proposed seven or eight cent scale and a 75 percent rise over the recognized schedule. The piece describes employers saying they have kept wages 20 percent above the New York scale and asserts shops are open with workers free to return, though blocked by the national union due to solidarity with other cities.
