Labor Warns of Water Contamination Risk in Milwaukee Rail Route
The Milwaukee plan to run a railroad along the Cedar River watershed faces strong opposition from the Central Labor Council. They urge the city to own the right of way and reject external routes, arguing the river valley route threatens the water supply and must be tightly guarded with police, sanitary supervision, and strict construction safeguards. The committee’s report calls for comprehensive protection measures and city ownership of the route to prevent contamination and ensure water quality.
