Railroads Brace for Eight Hour Day Costs Surge
Rail employers anticipate major expense rises if an eight hour workday is granted. Baltimore and Ohio officials estimate annual operating costs could climb by about 2 billion dollars, affecting 65,000 employees with 45,000 gaining from the change. Carriers act as a unit, with a public campaign planned to prepare the public for wage demands. Eastern roads form committees led by Elisha Lee of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Frank H. Fayant as publicity manager warns millions would be added to payrolls if 300,000 train workers press for new terms.
