Governor Pushes Settlement After Labor Strike Impasse
The union seeks immediate termination of the strike, elections to determine bargaining representation, reinstatement of all employees without discrimination, and wage rates of 42.34 cents hourly for insider workers, helpers, and platform men, and 52.44 cents hourly for drivers. Employers offer a slightly lower wage scale and reinstatement from a preferential list they control. The clause triggered the union’s rejection, demanding seniority rights, prompting the governor to intervene to force a settlement.

Wheat Dumping Claimed Shifts Market To East
Baltimore wheat dealers and the Baltimore Chamber of Commerce warned that Pacific Northwest growers are dumping wheat in the east at a high cost to eastern farmers. They blamed a 16 cent bushel Panama Canal tax cut and low water gates at southeastern ports for the shift. A Baltimore firm member estimated eastern farmers face about 10 cents a bushel lower prices due to western grain influx. The worry spans farmers, dealers, and millers as a strike ending port holds 50 million bushels of Pacific coast wheat now moving east.
