Truman Moves to End Rail Seizure After Agreement
President Truman plans rapid action to end government seizure of the railroads following a White House deal with carriers and rail unions. The pact calls for retroactive wage boosts for about 190,000 workers, funding increases for yard and train crews, and changes to work rules as contracts are drafted over the coming days. The Army had nominal control during the seizure, which the White House will terminate with executive orders once contracts are signed.
