RAIL WORKERS
SET TO STRIKE,
LEADER SAYS
SERVE WITH HIM — JOIN THE AIR-WAC
Washington, Nov. 9. — A union
spokesman told senators today 1,100,*
000 railroad workers are prepared
to strike^for eight cents an hour
wage, but'lfenwd-'with Senator John
son, Democrat of Colorado,' that the
net result of a strike call probably
would be government wartime oper*
ation of the carriers.
George M. Harrison^ president of 1
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,;
also pledged no strike would be call- j
ed before congress had “reasonable
time” to act on a pending resolution
to validate the 8-cent increase. The
wage raise was recommended by a
special emergency board and was
agreed to by railroad management
but was disapproved by Stabilization
Director Fred M. Vinson.
A new emergency board then rec

paid workers to 4 cents for those in
the upper wage brackets. This pro

was rejected yesterday by the 15.
