Open Hearing On Railroad Wage Increase Under Way
A first public hearing on railroad wage demands opened in Washington with Edward McHugh and James Eubanks filing complaints for unionized strikers. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen seeks a 41 to 47 percent raise, a $150 minimum monthly pay, 20 minute lunch, and time counted for commuting. In Chicago, clerks and freight handlers approved hearings but blocked a sweeping strike, while a planned April 28 maintenance of way walkout faced mixed union sanction.
