Western Maryland Rejects Proposals Amid Wage Dispute
Baltimore Oct 10 Western Maryland Railroad president Maxwell C Byers rejected engineers and firemen wage increase and new working conditions proposals, declining arbitration. Barr and Paddock suggested arbitration but Byers gave a firm reply. A strike seemed likely though leaders denied immediate action, saying only union presidents can call a strike. The railroad cited prior demands dated Oct 8 1925 and noted labor board resistance.
