Rail unionists edge toward acceptance of pay award
On the eve of the pay ruling, the Railway Labor Board prepares to publish an award expected to meet about 50 to 60 percent of workers' demands. Union leaders fear a possible general strike but plan a referendum to accept or reject the decision. The board also faces a theft at its offices as a twenty page ruling is drafted. Philadelphia reports a 10 percent cut in Pennsylvanian rail jobs, while other regions show variances. The Grand Council will convene after tomorrow's award to act on the decision.
