Butcher Strike Called Off by Union Men
Beattie Union No. 186 butchers voted to return to work after more than six months on strike. They cite open shop demands from packing houses and master butchers, and local mediation as unworkable. Members urged to rejoin work where possible without sacrificing union principles. The move aims to protect city and national interests and counter packer schemes. Discrimination against union members cited as cause of the strike in Beattie and Tacoma.
