GM Moves in Court to Halt CIO UAW Picketing in Cincinnati Area
General Motors filed in common pleas court in Cleveland to enjoin Local 45 of the United Automobile Workers over illegal picketing at Fisher Body Plant No. 1 in Cleveland. The strike, now 23 days old, has halted work for about 50 000 nonstriking employees and stalled wage talks as price ceilings for 1946 cars come under pressure amid UAW demands for a 30 percent raise. A presidential fact finding board was appointed to study the dispute, with GM and the union pledging cooperation as negotiations continue.

Tucumcari and Woodward logged trace amounts while Lubbock had none and several towns reported light dustings.
