Senate RGpS
Plan to Cut
Rail Wages

GN.S.) The proposed IS per
cent wage slash by principal rail
roads was sharply criticized to,
day by Senate sponsors Of the
emergency legislative program to
tide the carriers over the depres-
sion.
Although passage Of legislation
to expedite loans to the carriers
was still held assured, the wage
cut proposal has aroused strong
opposition to the program in some
quarters.
Senator Truman CD, Missouri,
warned that SCORER or later the
carriers will have to submit to a
wage revision" even though the
wage cut should be put into effect.
A member of the Interstate
Commerce Committee which has
been investigating the financial
structure of railroads for more
than a year, Truman said:
IF we are going to get the
railroad situation cleared up we
must revise their entire wage
schedules. There is too little
going to those at the bottom of
the structure and too much
going to those at the top.
ANY legislation designed to
eventually place the carriers IN
a secure position will have 70
take into consideration the wage
rates for they are one Of the
principal problems to be met"
Senator Wheeler Cd, Montana
chairman of the Interstate Com.
merce Committee, and sponsor OF
the Senate railroad inquiry. said
that undoubtedly" the entire
wage question of the carriers will
receive minute consideration when
the committee begins drafting a
permanent recovery legislative
program for the railroads.
Opposition to the proposed wage
reductions was voiced in the Sen
ate by Senator La Toilette (P0
Wisconsin. ASsailing the "out
NODDED debt and capital struc
lures" of the carriers, La Toilette
said that although they increased
wages on maintenance, they have
laid off enough employees to com
penSate for the pay increase.
Senate consideration of thu
emergency program is expected tt
throw the whole question Of the
wage cuts into debate. Sponsored
by Senator Wagner CD New
York, the program calls for RFC
loans Of approximately $500,
900, 900 through relaxation Of ICC
rules governing approval Of RFC
loans to the carriers.
