Wage issue opens as railroads urge restraint
Chicago May 27 The opening statement by rail executives to the United States railway labor board argues wage hikes are necessary to cope with living costs but warning that increases could absorb revenue from proposed freight-rate hikes and trigger further rate rises. They note payrolls surged since 1911 and 1919, with labor consuming a larger share of gross earnings. Also reported are incursions by Mohammedan bands near Damascus, Tyre, and Saida, with raids causing murders and panics before French warships were sent.
