Railroad Strikes Face Possible Penalty Amendment
A proposed drastic amendment to the Esch Cummins law is under consideration to penalize railroad strikes. The move signals heightened penalties and potential legal changes affecting labor action within the rail industry.
Public Opinion Seen Key to Penalties If Rail Strike Persists
The Harding administration weighs using public opinion to enforce Railway Labor Board decisions, since the Esch Cummins law lacks penalties. Officials consider amending the law to impose fines and imprisonment on those inciting strikes or lockouts in defiance of the board. The move aims to avoid court action if a strike continues.
