Unions Abandon Railroad Strike Over Government Influence
Chicago October 28 formal announcement that the October 30 railroad strike was called off was made by the Big Five brotherhoods after seven hours of debate. They cited government influence on railroads and said they would accept the July wage cut of 12 percent and board assurances of no further reductions for a year. The decision followed a near-unanimous vote to recall the strike and a plan to notify workers nationwide that no strike would occur.
