Major League owners approve players demands on reforms
New York, Sept. 16. Major league magnates approved most players demands for contract changes, including limiting salary reactions to 25 percent of the prior year's wage. A new executive council replaces the advisory unit, with the Commissioner chairing and one club owner from each league plus a player representative. The agreement sets a $5,000 minimum salary, $25 weekly training allowance, and a 30 day severance pay for releases, plus extended barnstorming, travel home payments, and guaranteed medical costs. A surprise clause caps salary growth, affecting stars like Hank Greenberg, Joe DiMaggio, Charlie Keller, and Walker Cooper.
