Demands On Railroads Break Up Conference Crisis
Chicago July 3 The ongoing demands of locomotive engineers and firemen for extra men on diesel locomotives have ended the separate conferences between western railways and the engineers and firemen unions. They seek a higher wage basis plus a 30 percent pay raise. Officials say the extra crew would require 105 enginemen for the City of San Francisco route, adding unnecessary cost and labor. They are willing to discuss changes to the pay basis but oppose a wage increase via a new staffing model.
