Hatmakers Push To Restore Wages After 70 Percent Cut
In New York on June 15, a mass meeting of the Cloth Hat and Capmakers union drew over 700 men from 26 shops to oppose wage reductions. They report a 70 percent fall in pay over the last year and average earnings under six dollars weekly for top workers. They aim to raise wages above starvation point and note broader harm from tariff policies. The piece also critiques McKinley tariff rhetoric and questions Congress spending, referencing Bloomfield and related industries hit by protectives.
