For St. Louis Brewery Workmen to Win a Contest With Employers.
St. Louis, Feb. 4.—The contest between English syndicate brewery managers and their employees, in effect since 1893, over the method of hiring help, has been settled at a conference of representatives of both parties. As a result the boycott made by the brewery workmen's unions against the breweries will be raised, the employers having given in.
Managers of the English syndicate breweries objected to hiring men as presented by an employment bureau in the interest of the brewery workmen, without regard to their qualifications. A strike and boycott resulted, and since the trouble began the brewery workers are said to have spent $24,000 in carrying on the fight, aside from the loss of wages. The employers also lost heavily by reason of the boycott.
