Railway strike and wage rate dispute across rail sector
A nationwide railway shopmen strike began Saturday with 400,000 workers walking out to protest wage cuts and conditions. Freight rates had been reduced by 10 percent via the Interstate Commerce Commission, offsetting wage cuts for shop and maintenance workers, while aviation-era price rises pushed freight costs higher. The piece argues for balancing rates and wages to aid farmers, noting broad economic strain in the agricultural belt. It connects to a broader labor tension including coal operators, and highlights veterinary graduates entering work as demand rises in meat and milk inspection and related fields.
