Rail unions to cancel strike plans amid wage deal
Three operating brotherhoods prepared to give the War Department formal notice today of their decision to cancel the strike. They reached an agreement with Class I railroads for an 8 cent hourly wage increase and a week’s vacation, while short line contracts remained unsigned. The broader wage dispute affecting 1.2 million clerical and laboring workers stayed unsettled as a presidential board continued overtime benefit hearings. The army may keep nominal control until all disputes are resolved.

New York to set December milk price at 3.50 a hundredweight
New York dairy officials announced a uniform price of 3.50 per hundredweight for December deliveries from farms in the six states of the New York milk shed. The pool is expected to yield farm value around 19.34 million dollars, with December production totaling 364 million pounds, down 10 percent from 1942. Farm income should rise above 3.50 when War Food Administration dairy payments are added, and output declines reflect fewer producers and lower daily deliveries.
