Rail Emploes Start Campaign For Wage Legislation
Chicago Aug 4 A national campaign by railway workers outside the four brotherhoods seeks congressional legislation to settle wage disputes between railroads and employees whether organized or unorganized.

The group argues 80 percent of workers are not in the four groups and include shop, construction, repair, office and operating staff whose wages are lower than train crews. A strike could jeopardize many jobs and hinder wage gains if trainmen win raises.
