Railroad Pay Issues Deepen i Continued From One) of these unions feared acceptance would mean a wage freeze for the duration of the war. Differences Arise Here is how the case stood: When these 15 unions representing more than a million office, shop, and track workers, cancelled their strike order on Monday they sent a letter to President Roosevelt accepting the sliding scale increases of 4 to 10 cents approved by Stabilization Director Fred M.

Vinson, and said they would accept the arbitration of their overtime demands. In their opinion, this left only the overtime issue for arbitration. The railroads do not agree and want the 4 to 10 cents and the overtime ruled on as one Issue. That would tend to cut down the total amount of the award. These developments followed: 1.

The 15 nonoperating unions, together with representatives of railroad management, conferred at the war department with Lt. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, appointed to operate the roads when the government seized them Monday night because of the strike threat. Confer With Somervell 2.

Leaders of the firemen, conductors and switchmen went back to the war department for a further conference with Somervell. 3. The trainmen and engineers.

Under the Nazi regime, more and more power and influence were concentrated within the capital and the city became not only the party center but the hub of the industry and commerce as well. When the petitions have been signed by a sufficient number of citizens, he added, they will be filed with the Illinois secretary of state.
