Railroads reject Erdman plan as unions move toward strike
Eastern railroads in wage talks issued a statement saying they will arbitrate under the Newlands bill but refuse Erdman act arbitration. The managers insist the Erdman act does not protect all parties and say they will submit to Newlands arbitration only if enacted. The reply, signed by Elisha Lee, was sent to Lee and Garretson of the conductors and trainmen union. Labor leaders and railroad chiefs await Washington action.
