Urged To Kill 8 Cent Raise Urged To Kill 8 Cent Raise
Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson urged the House Interstate Commerce Committee to kill a resolution seeking an eight cent hourly raise for non operating railroad workers. He argued the measure threatens wage stabilization and would invite broader demands. The Senate had approved the raise, backed by unions and an emergency board, while unions rejected it and planned a strike vote for December 30. The dispute involves about 350,000 workers including engineers and conductors.
