Railroads reach wage settlement with 12½ cent raise
President’s aide John R. Steelman announced a settlement between railroads and 15 non operating unions providing a 12 1/2 cent hourly pay rise for about 1,000,000 workers. An additional 4–5 cent raise may follow in April and another 4 cents by May 29 if productivity and cost of living conditions permit. The agreement, reached after an all night White House session, sets no further demands until October 1, 1953, and is the first such deal with non operating unions since 1937.
