Rail unions seek wage hike as board proposals clash
A December strike looms as mediation boards debate wage increases from 4 to 10 cents per hour. Union demands reach 30 percent or $38 a day for some, while non-operating unions seek 20 cents. A sliding scale was proposed but later overridden by Stabilization Directo. Fred M Vinson and another board urged gradual increases, and railroads agreed to eight cents in- case. Senate moved to set Vinson aside and make the raise effective. The union paused after a large ballot last month.
