Labor demands and wage increases." About two linear inches. There are actually items herein that predate stated dates, such as 1939 item (an agreement?) about SP and SP de México starting to operate on a strictly cash basis between each other. This particular item, dated 12/28/39, notes that SPdeM "will also take care of all its cash obligations out of its own resources without calling upon Southern Pacific Company for advances... so that its cash balances will reflect its ability to live within its current income independently of relief from Southern Pacific Company." About half of this item consists of numerous folded financial sheets in attached envelope
