Wilson asks Congress to set wage commission for rail workers
President Wilson urged Congress to create a special wage commission to rule on railway pay increases, proposing labor and public representation and retroactive findings. He asked postponement of recess until action is taken and endorsed tying future rate hikes to approved wage boosts. A conductors’ group pressed for 35 percent gains, noting real wages have fallen 35 percent over six years.
