Railroad Workers Demand Rule Changes Reignite Strike Fear
CHICAGO June 20 five unions representing 350000 railroad operating employees demand 44 rule changes. Confabs with 17 unions of about 1090000 non operating employees began earlier this week. They seek a 26 cent an hour wage rise, which would raise annual operating costs by 568 million dollars and add a further 1 billion for rules changes. D F Loomis calls the demands the biggest featherbed threat to private industry and says they would require additional unnecessary workers. President Truman brokered a settlement last year granting a 16 cent wage boost and 242 cent in lieu of rules changes waived.
