Wage dispute: Board withholds A B A decision
Chicago February 21 The United States railway labor board recommended remand for further conferences in the wage dispute involving the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic Railway. It faulted previous talks for not observing the spirit of the transportation act and noted wage reductions were rescinded pending board review. The carrier argued it could not pay the July 1920 award due to deficits, but the board held inability to pay not a sufficient cause.
