Strike Ban Urged by Two Rail Heads in Washington
Gustav Metzman of the New York Central and Walter S. Franklin of the Pennsylvania Railroad urged Senate action to outlaw rail strikes and empower compulsory arbitration as a last resort. They argued the Railway Labor Act has failed to protect national welfare and cited unions’ refusals to accept fact finding boards since 1941. Franklin warned a walkout could threaten 50 000 workers on the New York Central.
