Switchmen Strike Settlement Alters Railroad Wage Talks
A 17 month wage and hour dispute with switchmen ended October 1 with a 23 cent hourly increase and a penny per hour for every point rise above a cost of living index of 174. A three year pledge against further demands accompanied the deal, plus other concessions and rule changes. Both sides will draft a formal agreement next week while trainmen and conductors reject a parallel offer. The settlement may pressure rival unions to settle sooner or prolong government operation of rail service. Daniel Loomis cautioned against predicting broader effects.
