Trainmen on Central Get Raise
About 6000 trainmen and conductors on New York Central east of Buffalo will gain roughly 30 percent more in wages after arbitrators E. E. Clarke and P. H. Morrissey ruled. The rise aligns Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and Delaware & Hudson with the Baltimore & Ohio basis, adding about $2,000,000 yearly. Rates vary by division and job, with through passenger runs showing increases for baggagemen, flagmen, and brakemen and freight crews also rising to B&O levels.

The retroactive pay rise could affect conductors and trainmen on the New York Central between New York and Buffalo and the West Shore, with back pay from April and an increase after January 1 next.
