Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 78, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 June 1899 — BUFFALO STRIKE ENDED. [ARTICLE]

BUFFALO STRIKE ENDED.

Amicable Settlement Reached, and Grain Shovelers Go to Work. The grain shovelers’ strike at Buffalo has ended. In the agreement under which the men return to work Contractor Conners conceded practically everything, with the exception of the abrogation of the contract. He agrees over his signature not only to live up to all the previous agreements entered into by the lake carriers, but he agrees also to the appointment of a committee of five, three members of which will represent the grain shovelers, which will have absolute power to determine whether or not any of the men employed by him as scoopers shall be admitted into the new Grain Shovelers’ Union and be permitted to work.
