Wilson calls postponement of wage demands in railroading
President Wilson announced a policy to postpone wage settlements until normal economic conditions return, arguing it is unwise to raise freight rates to fund higher wages. He urged a truce until intelligent settlements can be made and appealed for citizen cooperation, noting the wage dispute with railroad shopmen and the broader rail labor claims. The plan offers ten hours pay for eight as an alternative, moving basic pay from 68c to 70c an hour while rejecting the 71c to 85c hourly demand.
