	Labor strife and disaster plagued the trolley system. A strike in 1903, Dubuque's first severe labor trouble, resulted in national notoriety for Union Electric as state troopers were called out to restore order. With the strike settled, the company remained in operation until 1916 when it was sold to the Dubuque Electric Company. Brake failure on Easter, Sunday, April 23, 1905, caused a spectacular accident as a [[UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY]] car hurtled off its tracks and struck the unoccupied first floor of the Diamond House at Eighth Street and Julien (University) Avenue.

In May 1975, he became the only council member within recent years to be censured by the council, a reprimand that could have led to his expulsion from the council. The council found Brady's conduct "injurious to the council" after an outburst over the issue of [[LORAS COLLEGE]] leasing its pool to the city for indoor swimming. Brady apologized for his conduct, and the council action was rescinded.
