Testimony at Odds on Railway Demands
Chicago AP reports wage hour demands of 1,000,000 railroad workers in non-operating jobs sparked contention before a presidential fact finding board appointed by President Truman. Debate centers on a five day 40 hour week with 48 hours pay and 25 cent hourly increases, as railroads warn of a $1.5 billion annual cost and a need for overtime on weekends. The board will issue recommendations, with a 30 day cooling off period before any strike. Two unions have accepted a 10 cent raise for trainmen and conductors, while others push wage talks to their general chairmen.
