Wage cut plan to shrink rail wage bill on July 1
United States railroad labor board orders an average 12 percent wage reduction affecting 41 labor organizations on 104 roads. The cuts range from 5 to 13 cents an hour, with section men hardest hit and common labor wages lowered to 6 to 8 cents. Clerks and foremen face reclassification and new monthly salaries, while engineers and conductors lose portions of their 1920 gains. The decision may extend to other roads and the unions weigh next steps ahead of July 1 implementation.
