Railways Face Bitter Warfare in Labor Clash
Chicago, Dec 2. Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the railroad labor board, told the Illinois Bar Association that many railway union leaders wage warfare against roads to push government ownership. He warned unions attack railroads and management, and urged curbing court injunctive powers and amending the constitution to let Congress override court decisions. He said the Plumb plan seeks state ownership with employee participation and that wage and rate adjustments under the transportation act would delay ownership. He criticized the idea that courts are controlled by the rich and powerful.
