Railroad wage dispute at Santa Fe engine crews grows unlikely to advance
Refusal by Santa Fe to grant 15 to 18 percent wage rise expected to stand after grievance committees state they are not radical. Engineers on most lines earn 4.15 per 10 miles with higher mountain rates, firemen at 60 percent of engineer wages. Union leaders, traveling in Chicago, foresee no immediate increase but plan to repeat the demand at next annual meeting.
