Labor Strife and Wage Cuts Ripple Through Rail and Packing Sectors
In 1919 the railway execs pressed to shrink national agreements while railway unions appealed to President Wilson to prevent wage cuts, which he declined. The railway labor board ended workers’ contracts on July 1, triggering a 12 percent wage cut and further reductions. A strike vote was set for October but failed to gain allied support as the board prepared wage concessions. December 1 saw a reconstituted spending rule favoring efficiency, and packing plants faced wage cuts to March. A broad strike followed in December, while packing workers adopted a shop representation system in November and agreed to a 10 percent cut. many cutters opposed and struck in December. Samuel Gompers was reelected AFL president at the Denver convention. Britain faced a national stoppage with March 1 strikes by giants chambers and extended near-collapse of industries. rail and transport workers stayed at work as miners returned to 28 shillings without gains.
