Operating Rail Unions
Call Contract Meeting
: by the As.eeioted Press

Heads of three operating rail
unions today called 500 rank and
file members to Washington June
81 to consider the railroads latest
contract offer in the long dead
locked dispute.
Although the leaders of the en-
gineers. f1remen and enginemen,
and conductors declined to discuss
the offer or their reaction to it, it
was understood to be virtually the
same as that accepted on May Is
by the fourth operating union, the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men.
Under that agreement, approved
only two days ago by the Wage
Sterilization Board. road service
men would receive a wage increase
of 1872 cents an hour and those
in yard service SO cents.
There has been little dispute
over wages. The major difficulty
has been over adoption of the 40
hour work week and changes in
operating rules which the railroads
want to put into effect.
