Five Proposals for Legislation to Avert Strike
Negotiations between the railroads and the brotherhoods through President Wilson were definitely broken off. The brotherhood leaders ordered the strike to begin at 7 a.m. Labor Day unless countermanded, and said only a settlement favorable to the men could change it. Wilson plans joint session at 2:30 p.m. to present new laws to prevent the strike. Proposals include expanding the ICC to nine members, an eight hour day for interstate railroad workers, Federal Mediation Board power to investigate, ICC to consider eight hours in rate cases, a Canadian style dispute act, and presidential power to run trains to feed troops at the Mexican border. The brotherhoods favor the eight hour day but oppose the Canadian plan.
