Seven Hundred Men Idle in Saco Mills Strike Ends Plant Threatened
At Biddeford and Saco, Maine, seven hundred machinists walk out after refusing to accept a union shop. The company warns of moving production to Massachusetts and New Hampshire, while nonunion workers remain. A letter from the union calls for a Monday noon walkout, and the shop gates are locked as workers depart. The mobilization includes wood workers, painters, yard men, and pickle house staff, with nonunion machinists staying on. The company plans to reroute orders if the Biddeford plants shut down. The Hood schooner report closes with word of a lost Philadelphia cargo voyage.
