Rail borders lose wage raise in year long dispute
A rail wage cut affects 65 000 to 70 000 Iowa railroad workers as the United States railroad labor board reduces last July's 8 1 2 percent increase. The cuts, ranging from 8 to 12 percent for various classes, begin July 1 with wider effects anticipated on two million men. Union leaders plan talks among the four largest brotherhoods on July 10 to press for better terms while the board notes preexisting increases under federal control and projects an average monthly salary around 125 dollars after reductions.
