Rail wage cuts approved by board amid protest
Chicago June 6 protests by United States railroad labor board executives over a seven cent hourly cut for railway shop mechanics and nine cents for freight car men, affecting about 400,000 workers and saving the railroads roughly 60 million dollars yearly. The order, effective July 1, follows a prior 50 million dollar cut for maintenance of way laborers, with minority labor leaders accusing the majority of ignoring human needs and failing to justify the discrimination against car workers.
