Demand Wage Raise
BERLIN, (By Mail):-The German railwaymen put forward a demand for an hourly increase in wages of 15 pfennig. This demand was arbitrarily reduced by the reformist leaders to 6 pfennig (less than a penny). An arbitration decision has now been passed providing for an increase of from three to four pfennig. This decision should be valid until the 31st of March, 1931. The trade union leaders are in favor of accepting the decisions while the Reichbahn is against it. The railwaymen are angry at the smallness of the increase offered them. The decision was arrived at on the suggestion of the official organ of the German social democratic party, the "Vorwaerts."
