I ress Demand
For Pay Rise
CHICAGO, Oct 31 -Ph The
nation's five operating brother
hoods two of which called the
paralyzing railroad strike of May
1 1948 today demanded immed-
al for a 30 per cent wage boost,
declaring that i "further i neglect
and delay could disturb railroad
operations." " j '
A spokesman for the railroads'
negotiating committees ! denied
that there had been any "neglect
or delay" by the railroads and
said officers of the five unions
had "deliberately" chosen to put
the rules - proposals ahead of the
pay demands. M
The brotherhoods, representing
330,000 engineers, firemen, con
ductors, trainmen, switchmen and
yardmen, interrupted negotiations
with the carriers . on proposed
rules changes to put forward
their wage proposal.
I They demanded that the 1 rules
changes negotiations be set '. aside
temporarily until the wage ques
tion is decided, asserting "rail
road workers are using up their
savings, going into debt, and ac
tually financing themselves." !
