Railway Clerks Threaten Break with AFL Over Jurisdiction
The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, 91,200 members, faced suspension from the American Federation of Labor unless it transfers within ninety days to the National Brotherhood of Teamsters and related workers. Delegates voted 23,845 to 5, with five of six delegates pledging to keep jurisdiction, while others approved surrender. The move stems from a long running jurisdictional feud and delays in adjournment as wage policy debates continue. President Hess did not sign the statement but reportedly approved.
