Truman Creates Emergency Rail Dispute Board
President Truman established an emergency board to study a wage dispute involving about 125,000 railroad operating workers and three unions. A strike is set for February 1, and the board has 30 days to hear evidence and report, with a 30 day cooling off period before any strike. The involved carriers include the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen's Union of North America. The move aims to prevent disruption of essential transport as commerce could be affected. The board's personnel will be announced soon.
