Switchmen wage vote fuels rail labor dispute
On June 15 an Emergency Board appointed under the Railway Labor Act urged railroads to grant switchmen a 40 hour week and an 18 cent hourly raise. Railroads ready to accept, Union leaders demand 31 cents an hour, $2.48 daily rise. Board says demands unjustified, risks pay gaps and higher costs. The Harper Herald reports W. O. Reed promoting a balanced budget and pay-as-you-go policy for Texas government.
