Railroad unions seek more than 152 cent raise in new talks
Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman summoned negotiators for three unions to a White House meeting as the strike threat looms. Unions want more than the 1.52 percent pay boost plus working rule changes, while the carriers refuse to alter the established pattern. Steelman weighs extra rules for Locomotive Engineers, Firemen, Enginemen, and Switchmen. Union rank and file threaten picketing if no settlement by Thursday night, as Truman trains depart for Chicago and the west coast. Congress speedily acted on retirement and unemployment changes offering a 20 percent pension rise for 200,000 retirees, a cap on railroad unemployment tax, and survivor pension guarantees. Taft and Wolverton introduced bills to carry out the agreement with action urged. Current unemployment fund stands at about $950,000,000 and retirement fund at $1.3 billion. Automatic tax increases may occur if funds dip below $450,000,000.
