Roosevelt Names Board to Study Rail Wage Dispute
President Roosevelt announced a special fact finding board to probe the wage dispute fueling a threatened nationwide railroad strike. Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy of North Carolina, Prof. Harry A. Millis of Chicago University, and Dean James M. Landis of Harvard Law School will chair the inquiry, delaying any strike for at least sixty days. The move comes as 19 brotherhoods voted for a strike and rail carriers threaten a 15 percent wage cut, with orders set to begin October 1 unless negotiations yield a compromise.
