Show detail Hide detail

In 1917 all United States railways came under the control of and were operated by a United States government body known as the United States Railroad Administration. Its activities were watched closely by Canadian railways and their employees and its General Order 27, the "McAdoo Award" drastically revised United States rail employees' wages upward and formed a bargaining point and precedent for Canadian railway wage negotiations. These records are circulars, orders and amendments, including the McAdoo Award maintained by the London and Port Stanley Railway.
