Freight Handlers Seek 10 Percent Wage Increase in Rail Lines
The New York New Haven and Hartford Freight Handlers Union 70 formed a joint committee with Assembly 628 to press for a 10 percent wage rise and 25 cents overtime by the New Haven road. They currently earn 1.90 dollars daily for nine hours as 16 applicants were admitted and 120 dollars were voted for sick benefits. Union 79 has 370 members and Assembly 628 has 230. Knights of Labor District Assembly 30 endorsed the demand amid a rising cost of living and stable market conditions.
