Petition by 64 Railroad Presidents Opposes Space Pay Plan
A petition signed by 64 railroad presidents protesting the space pay plan for parcel post and mail transport was presented to the Senate committee on post offices and post roads. Ralph Peters of the Longsland railroad urged reference to the Interstate Commerce Commission to determine payment rights, denouncing the plan as unjust and un-American. Other railroad leaders followed, condemning the Moon railway pay bill as a rider to the postoffice appropriation bill and outlining reasons the plan would harm rail carriers.
