One Rail Strike Blocked and Two Remain Planned
A judge halted one railroad strike on Thursday while two others still faced potential walkouts Friday. Sabotage was charged during a nationwide telephone strike. Charley Luna of UTU said Cleveland would not strike the Chicago and North Western at 6 a.m. Friday, but a 6 a.m. call persisted for Union Pacific and Southern Railroad workers. Officials warned fines could halt UP and Southern operations within 24 hours if they were struck. In Washington, Acting Labor Secretary Silberman convened an eight-hour meeting with company and labor leaders to avert a wider rail stoppage.
