Strike Threat Looms Over Southern Telegraphers Wage Row
A Friday deadline looms as 1266 Southern Railway telegraph operators and agents threaten to strike if the company rejects a new wage scale. Union leader B Perham arrives to direct negotiations, demanding a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 85 dollars monthly, up from current 30 and 25 dollars respectively. The union, now recognized, cites months of talks with General Manager H H Spencer and General Superintendent McManus, and warns that a failure to submit the scale will trigger a walkout by the majority of workers.
