Rail Wage Cuts Hit 81 Unions as Board Slashes Pay
The United States Railroad Labor Board ordered a 12 percent wage cut across 104 railroads starting July 1, affecting 81 unions. Wages fall five to 18 cents an hour, with monthly amounts dropping from $10.20 to $26.52 for apprentices on an eight hour day. Some increases from 1920 were wiped out, and section laborers see about an 18 percent cut. The ruling may extend to other roads later under the Esch Cummins act.
