Rail labor votes reject Wilson wage offer as strike threat grows
In Washington and Detroit a massive vote rejects President Wilson’s wage proposal for railway shopmen. About 325000 approve a walkout unless gains are granted, while government efforts to curb living costs delay any general wage increase. Buffalo strikers refuse to return to Depew shops despite four hours of talks.
