Railroad wage bill proposal gains AFL support
The American Federation of Labor and allied unions push a plan to regulate railroads through a court evaluated valuation, aiming to balance public interest with wage earners and capital. It promises peaceful constitutional methods, lower living costs, and protection against exploitation while tying rail costs to consumer prices. The plan seeks harmony among workers, capital, and the public, with reductions tied to gains in efficiency.
