Wage dispute tests railroads as cuts loom
The United States Labor Board plans wage cuts for unskilled railway workers starting July first, possibly 15 to 20 percent, with hints of later cuts for union labor. L. E. Sheppard argues conductors deserve increases for duties, risk, and skill, urging no reductions until Congress investigates the sector. He cites cost of living, training, and responsibility to support parity with other classes.
