Spreading Strikes Hang Over Opening of Labor Conference
The opening sessions of a major labor management conference in Washington were overshadowed by widespread strikes. About 265,000 workers idle in 31 states, with 61,450 in California, led state counts, amid key disputes including 60,000 AFL lumber workers in the Pacific Northwest and Greyhound bus employees in a multi-state walkout. Higgins Industries announced plant shutdowns amid labor-pressure ads, while the CIO considered a wage offer from big operators. Southwestern Greyhound drivers joined strikes across twelve states, prompting debates over pay and management offers as arbitration officials eyed government steps to end the turmoil.
