A three man board led by Leif Erickson urged President Truman to grant an 18 percent pay boost over January 1941 rates, effective for about 200000 railroad engineers and trainmen. The panel rejected a 25 percent demand after 45 days of hearings, citing higher living costs as basis for the 16 cent hourly increase and its impact on 1,250,000 other workers in the industry.
