Machinists May Strike After Negotiations Fail
Officials of the Illinois Central Railway and the International Association of Machinists failed to agree on wages and hours at a joint meeting in Chicago. The railway offered a 5 percent raise for machinists, 2.5 percent for helpers, and 2.5 percent for blacksmiths, boilermakers, painters and shop workers, with time and a half for overtime but maintaining the ten hour day. Machinists demanded 9 cents an hour, nine hour days, overtime after six hours, and double time on Sundays and holidays. The union decided to reject the road’s counter offer and pursue the original demands, with telegrams sent to shops along the line to prepare for possible final action within 36 hours.
