Washington February 4 Demands of railroad employees for higher wages and the eight hour day were criticized by Howard Elliott of the New York New Haven and Hartford as a tax that would raise living costs and burden industry. He spoke at the Chamber of Commerce gathering as the convention opened with prominent officials including Secretary Redfield and Dr Ernest Fox Nichols discussing vocational education and labor relations. The talks covered shipping policy, tariff board ideas, and universal military training.
