Tawney Bill Aims to Settle Rail Strikes by Courts
Washington June 9 Congressman Tawney Minnesota introduces a railroad strike settlement bill. It uses circuit courts to arbitrate disputes between interstate railroad companies and employees, with a five member arbitration board and potential court involvement if parties fail to agree. Penalties apply for noncompliance and for outsiders or employees to provoke strikes. The measure, supported by Hartman of Montana, awaits Judiciary Committee action.
