Recommends
W ithdrawal
Demand 15%
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 </P> —
The Emergency Railroad Invest*
gdtion Board recommended that
the nation's railroads withdraw
their demands for a fifteen per
cent wage reduction.
The Board was appointed by
President Roosevelt to investi
gate the wage dispute and said
wages “are not high even as com
pared with wages of other com
parable industries.” The report
added that “a wage reduction in
the railroad industry would gen
erally run counter to the trend
of wage rates in industry.”
The dispute arose when car
riers served notice they would
impose a fifteen percent wage
cut but the railroads voted to
strike rather than accept it.
The San Francisco stock of th®
Southern Pacific Railroad dropp
ed $1.50 a share suddenly on the
announcement of the Wage In
vestigating Committee report in
Washington. The stock was sell
ing at $20.50 during the morning
before the report was released
and it immediately went to $19.
The last sale in New York was
$19.50, an hour before the report
was released
