RAIL UNION HEADS

Meet in Chicago Dec. 6
to Plan Sellout

NEW YORK. Railroad union Off
cials representing the 81 railroad
brotherhoods will meet In Chicago on
December s, with the main idea in
view being to help the railroad bosses
put over a 10 per cent wage cut for
81 100000 railroad workers.
All actions of the railroads as well
as statements in the capitalist press
go to prove the fact that the railroad
union officials will meet for the pur-
pose of working out wage-cuS:!ng
strategy. The clearest declaration Of
this comes from the financial editor
Of the New York Sun (Noy. I'D who
wrote:
"On the labor side 1t is generally
assumed In Wall Street that the
union leaders recognize the neces-
sity Of reducing wages, but are, Of
course, facing Job TO convince all
the trainmen Of this"
The Wall Street journal reports
that the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad management
had decided to announce wage cuts
for December LIST, but on later con.
sideration decided to wait until after
December 9th when the railroad
union officials end their meetings
