Pennsylvania Shopmen Face 65 Dollar Monthly Wage Limit
The Pennsylvania Railroad imposes a 65 dollar monthly earnings cap for shop workers. Once reached in a month, workers are idle until the next month begins. The measure aims to spread work more evenly, though many skilled machinists previously earned 100 to 289 dollars monthly. President James Metzen reportedly opposes piece work, while discussions consider adopting hour-based pay. The move spares the mileage ticket system following a Supreme Court ruling on 4 cent a mile fares.
