Abstract:
Increase of wages planned by trainmen in 1907, but not pressed because of the panic, 140. — New movement in 1909, 141. — The first attack came on the Baltimore & Ohio. Arbitration and award under the Erdman Act, 144. — Arbitration on the New York Central, and settlement on the same basis on other lines, 148. — Effects of "standardization"; inequalities remain, and are even accentuated, 151. — Connection between increase of wages and advance of freight rates; the trainmen exert pressure for higher rates, 157.
