In the east the walkout widened with trainmen joining in several districts, prompting concerns of a more serious spread. A settlement offer urged by John Gronau, head of the Chicago Yardsmen, included recognizing a new union formed by dissent from the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Switchmen's Union of North America, plus concessions such as dropping check pay claims. The proposal also seeks the original wage increase, an eight hour day, and time and a half for overtime, with Sundays and holidays included.
