Wagner Urges Rail Raise to End Controversy
Senator Wagner urged Vinson to reverse his stance on a cents-an-hour rail wage increase for non-operating employees, arguing a mistake was made and the August 7 contract between 15 unions and carriers should take effect. He warned Congress may endorse the raise, risking broader demands, while administration aides seek a delay and a possible compromise to avoid a strike affecting 1.1 million workers.
