Spirit of Act Disregarded Says Higgins
J W Higgins, chairman of the western railroads managers conference, denounces the conductors and trainmen strike vote as a disregard of the Watson Parker railway labor act. He notes the act’s two year duration and says arbitration offers were rejected despite railways offering wage increases tied to rule changes. Higgins cites mediation by John Williams and contrasts eastern gains with western earnings. Yardmen on western lines were awarded increases by the arbitration board.
