Strikers at Moline Plow Co. Demand Pay for Grindstone Handling
Fifteen grinders walked out at Moline Plow Co on Monday over a 5 percent wage restoration and a new schedule that cut pay on some pieces. A committee met foreman and settled differences, with some raises and minor adjustments. Next day the workers claimed extra pay for bringing in grindstones, which the company refused. Some Davenport workers quit briefly. overall wages were argued to be higher than last year due to schedule changes, while manufacturers face lower raw costs but pressure to cut selling prices. The piece notes broader seasonal economic strain.
