They rejected a 20 percent raise and urged Atlantic wages match Pacific rates of 62.50 for engineers and deck, and 40 for stewards, arguing lower Atlantic wages fuel intercoastal disputes.

Supreme Court ruling limits TVA scope but leaves rest under fire
The court upholds federal authority to build Wilson dam and sell power, but rejects broad TVA questions. Justices Brandeis Roberts and Cardozo concurred that the case should be dismissed without ruling on constitutionality, arguing the plaintiffs lacked standing. McReynolds dissented. The decision narrows scope but keeps most TVA projects vulnerable to challenges.
