Deadly Strike Looms for 101000 Switchmen in East
Weather, snow and moving freight pressure set the stage as 52 eastern railroads face a ten percent wage demand. Grand Master Lee and First Vice President Murdock head a committee to decide on work stoppage if demands are refused. A final grievances schedule is due to railroad managers by Thursday or Friday. The union says any general strike requires grand master approval and a poll will endorse or reject action. The move involves 101,000 switchmen and trainmen, and aims to distinguish from the rival Switchmen's Union of North America.
