Pier Strike Called Off After Six Week Stoppage
The Longshoremen's Union Protective Society ended a six week strike in Hudson Hall with representatives from nineteen branches in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Hoboken deciding to return to old rates of 39 cents for day work and 45 cents for overtime. Strikers had sought up to 49 cents for day work and 69 cents for Sunday and holiday work, later proposing 35 cents day, 50 cents night, and 60 cents Sunday. No discharge of strikebreakers occurred, and efforts to settle with transatlantic ships failed. Colonel Reagan secured a pledge to rehire as many veterans as possible, prompting the meeting and end of the strike.
