Builders and unions in clash halt Amarillo work
The Associated General Contractors and the Texas Panhandle Home Builders Association ordered all construction in Amarillo halted over a dispute with the Building Trades Council about recognizing the common laborers union. Key contractors like K. S. Reynolds and McAlister Development Co. paused 350 residential and 40 commercial projects amid the stand. Workers began returning after sessions, but tension persisted as union recognition remained the core issue. The stoppage followed a pattern of earlier partial job suspensions and a final joint statement signaling a temporary halt until the dispute is resolved. Also noted, Truman nominated Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clay for the temporary rank of full general in Washington.
