Insurgent Rail Workers Plan Delegation to Wilson
The 99000 insurgents, in a nationwide walkout wave last April, will send a committee to President Wilson to seek aid restoring seniority rights and readmission to railroad service. George Evans of the Eastern Railwaymen's Association announced this at Grand Views Mall in Jersey City, and a memorial may follow if Wilson declines. Rail line bosses, led by Robert S. Tarson of Erie, say strikers use publicity more than road managers, who work to move freight and passengers.
