Mr.. Lee said that the strike is in
protest against the IL per cent wage
reduction handed down by the, Rail-
rond Labor Board on June / last. and
which went into effect July I. He
explained that when the five railroad
organization chiefs met with a com
mittce of five railroad managers in
Chicago Friday To consider the IL
per cent wage reduction. and were
informed by the railroad managers
that further 10 per cent wage re-
ductiOn would be requested. the
