More than 3,500 Baltimore and Ohio railroad workers on the Monongah division, many from Grafton, received back-pay and Christmas extras. About 500 trainmen and engineers got roughly $200 each, totaling around $10,000, for wage periods January 1 to May 22 and May 22 to June 15, with smaller two and a half cent increases for other workers. An unpaid wage dispute contributed to a prior strike, and officials estimate total division payments near $25,000.
