RR Workers To Get Raise
CHICAGO (RP) A final settlement in the wage dispute between the railroads and 450000 non-operating workers nears after carriers agreed to raise hourly wages an average of 10.2 cents. A railroad spokesman said 11 unions representing off train workers indicated acceptance of the raise, though how the increase would be figured remains unsettled. Both sides planned further talks as unions and management had already accepted a flat 4 cent increase retroactive to February 1 and a 2% raise effective May 1 for telegraphs clerks shipmen and other non-operating personnel. Wages for non-operating jobs average $2.42 hourly and the industry will incur about $1 million more annually.
