Rail Negotiations Adjourn

By the Associoied Press

CHICAGO, Jan. ga conference
between representatives of the Ma

to resume its wage-hour talks Tues

Neither side would comment ex-

The unions. representing a mil

a strike at any time If negotiations
over wages and hours fail. All legal
preliminaries to o strike have been
complied with. 80.
Both sides have expressed dis.
satisfac actior@zwith recommendation
of 9 fact t-1nding board. The unions
had demanded a wage boost of Is

necessarily give each wage board
employe fiat $3.50 pay increase. 1t
would make up the difference be-
tween any pay boost given these
employees since July, and the $3.50
figure.
For example, If wage board
worker has had his salary increased
by $3.50 since last July, the Patman
bill would give him an additional
$3.50 a year. Those who received
nothing, of course, would receive
the full $3.50 increase.
Wage board employees. whose SAL
aries are fixed by wage boards
rather than by Congress, have COM
planned that their salary adjust
ments of late have been inadequate
and haven't measured up to those
granted classified employees. Mr.
Patman feels that his bill would
end any inequities which might
exist.
The bill probably will be handled
at the same time when the legisla-
tion to grant District Government
employees a retroactive $3.50 pay in
crease is considered.

Although a decision in the long
