President defers rail talks to ICC and RLB
Telegrams from labor and carrier leaders reach the White House as President Franklin D. Roosevelt reiterates that all railroad finance, operation costs, and management questions fall under the Interstate Commerce Commission while labor disputes go to the Railroad Labor Board. He orders copies sent to both bodies for action. Union leaders urge inquiry into Atterbury’s bankruptcy warning and potential Congressional remedies. The Railway Executives counter with a critical stance, calling the union appeal propaganda.
