Rail Strike Left in Lap Of Roosevelt
The Associated Press reports President Roosevelt may act on the threatened strike of 1 250 000 railroad workers as mediation and arbitration fail to yield a deal. A separate Mediation Board move targets Alabama coal miners and other labor disputes. Union demands recall wage hikes up to 34 cents an hour for nonoperating and up to 30 percent for operating factions, with projected costs to carriers at 900 million yearly, while a U M W request seeks higher base pay and paid vacations. Multiple industry walkouts are referenced including at Lorain Ohio shipyard and Kentucky tied to unionization efforts and labor disputes across sectors.
