Government approves Wagner Crosser rail pension plan
June 22 Washington The House Ways and Means Committee backed a new government super pension system for about 1 200 000 railroad employees by a 360 to 1 vote. The measure, crafted by railroad managers and labor, would provide monthly pensions up to 120 dollars and finance the plan with payroll levies rising to 344 per worker by 1949. Eligibility includes retirement at 65 with 30 years service or total disability, with reduced benefits for earlier retirement after 30 years service.
