How Much Is 900 Million Dollars The Rail Demands
Railroad unions claim demands would add 900 million dollars a year to operating costs. The pamphlet compares this to farm production value, egg output, agricultural implements, prior railroad shipping costs, housing construction in 1939, and federal payments to farmers. It notes the figure would exceed coal mined and nearly equal postal revenue, with passenger fares totaling 417 million dollars last year.
