Murdock backs arbitration in railway wage crisis
In a July debate on the Braman act amendments to arbitrate railway disputes, Representative Murdock of Kansas urged quick action to avert a 60,000-strong strike. He argued the focus must be on fundamental economic problems, not just a narrow settlement, noting wage pressures and rising living costs as central to the issue. The piece also discusses partisan reactions and related senate maneuvers over pensions for a California Indian school superintendent’s widow and broader tariff and currency policy dynamics.
