Two Million Railroad Workers Get Wage Increases
The four railway brotherhoods accept the wage commission report under McAdoo to raise wages for about 1.939 million employees. Increases range from one to fifty four dollars monthly, costing railroads about 260 million dollars with broader rate hikes anticipated to offset government deficits. The plan ties to a 40 percent rise in living costs and seeks shorter hours, though wartime limits delay reform.
