Will Shop Owners Meet Machinists Half Way
The Metal Trades association voted Saturday night to keep the 10 hour work day, widening the rift with striking machinists who demand a nine hour day with pay cuts. A new offer from the machinists executive committee proposes a nine hour day with 25 cents less per day to end the strike, with a concession secured from Vulcan Ironworks. Secretary Mitchell says the 10 hour decision was to counter workers taking strike replacements, while Brick and the committee push for general arbitration submission to manufacturers.
