US. Rail Strike Issue Postponed

Problem Unsolved; Old Wage, Freight Rates to Continue Pending Talks

Chicago, June 28.

The Railway Labour management board today postponed the conference between the Association of Railroads and the Railway Brotherhoods on the proposed fifteen per cent. wage cut until July 20 and automatically retained the present scale of wages until July 30.

The present wage scale was retained because the Railway Labour Act requires ten days notice to be served the Railway Brotherhoods ọn the intention to enforce a wage cut following the completion of conferences between the two groups.
