Names Board To Investigate Railroad Dispute
In Denver President Eisenhower created an emergency board to investigate a dispute between the Pennsylvania Railroad and 35 000 non operating employees. The move delays any strike for at least 60 days. The CIO Transport Workers Union said its members voted overwhelmingly to strike over old grievances and new wage demands. The union blames management for six years of unresolved issues including holidays and health plans. A wage rise and hours reduction were also demanded. The largest group affected are carmen mechanics earning about two dollars an hour. The Pennsylvania line has offered arbitration but the plan was deemed hedged and rejected by the union.
