Wage cuts for 400000 rail labor in 1922 plan delayed action
Chicago May 28 The United States railroad labor board announced a wage reduction for about 400000 maintenance of way workers on railroads, effective July 1, slicing pay by six cents an hour for most but sparing some classes. The decision, signed by three railroad and three public members, includes dissent by labor group members. The ruling continues prior rate differentials, notes maintainers’ responsibilities, and argues a higher wage than external labor despite cuts.
