Union and Owners Condemn JFK Pay Proposal
Washington AP report states unions representing about 450,000 railroad workers condemn the proposed $100 million wage increase as inadequate.

The emergency board recommends a 4 cent base raise plus 2.0% May 1, a one year wage freeze, and new labor management study and advisory bodies to improve pay differentials and relations.
