Rail wage cuts loom as labor board action eyed
The United States railroad labor board announced a decision that will slash about 50 million dollars from the annual railway payroll starting July 1. Additional pending orders could add at least 100 million more, affecting main tenances and other classes of railway labor while excluding train service and yard staff. If realized, the cuts would nearly erase the 600 million dollar wage increase of May 1920 and roll back the scale.
