May Fix Railway Wage Next Week
Chicago, June 24. The railway labor board may hand down a decision fixing new wage schedules for all railroad worker classes next week. A final award may be delayed by reconsideration, and a partial settlement could not be announced if complete figures are not compiled. Two moves toward settlement are planned with union heads meeting to discuss the strike situation and a mass meeting by yard and locomotive unions to present their side of the dispute. The strike wave is largely on the Atlantic seaboard and the Interstate Commerce Commission watches effects on freight and coal movement. Potomac yards strike caused temporary freight embargoes, but full night crews reported for work and 30,000 carloads were in the yards. Railroad officials say the strike may be over.
