Hope Fades to Avert New York Subway Strike
In New York the Interborough Rapid Transit company discharged eleven motormen, six for refusing to train applicants, possibly all Amalgamated members. Five were said to be union members. Leaders warned a unanimous strike vote would occur, while officials noted many workers might quit already. Officials reported two line tieups from short circuits, with no sabotage found. Barracks housed dozens of so called strikebreakers as emergency plans activated. Brooklyn Manhattan Transit appeared not to prepare strikebreakers, signaling likely limited walkouts.
