Striking Railway Shopmen Seek Redress From President
Grievances of striking railway shopmen against railroads and the United States railroad labor board are sent to President Harding via telegram. They allege partiality by the board, claim laws violated by carriers, and demand a living wage. Interruption of mails and commerce will continue until a settlement is reached. The shop crafts insist the unions strike against the board, not the carriers, and reject direct talks. The telegram notes wages are below living standards and cites Judge Page on advisory board decisions. Hooper proposes new plans but details are not given.
