Wage board weighs dollar day raise amid union push
The wage opinion backed by public members and Dr. George W W Taylor of Philadelphia supports a dollar per day increase. The three man panel forwarded its report to the Board after four months of hearings with no explicit recommendation, but the stance favors the higher wage and prompts union leaders including Philip Murray to reconvene in Pittsburgh to review the decision. New hires must join the union and existing workers have two weeks to withdraw under the maintenance of membership clause. The company will deduct union dues via checkoff from employee pay.
