Warren S. Stone requests a conference with railroad executives for six big unions after a vote to strike. Sixteen union officers met in a hotel while about 100 railroad presidents convened elsewhere. They discuss wage actions and possible rate cuts, amid a crisis intensified by a labor board decision on piece work. More than 60 percent of workers favor striking to oppose wage reductions and new rules. A trial period of sixty to ninety days may see immediate freight rate reductions on agricultural profits.
