May Ask Ike To Head Off Rail Strike
President Eisenhower may be asked this week to head off a railroad labor dispute. The National Mediation Board plans to seek an emergency board under the Railway Labor Act to study arguments from unions and railroads and propose a solution. A board order would avert a strike or wage cut for at least 60 days. The dispute involves maintenance and service workers earning about 2.40 per hour, seeking a 3 percent raise plus vacations, holidays, and welfare provisions, while railroads propose a 15 cent per hour wage cut.
