Trainmen Halt Texas Rail Traffic Across Six Lines
Palestine Texas AP The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen struck railroads across Texas and neighboring states delaying freight and passenger trains. The Missouri Pacific Eagle from St Louis with 260 passengers was held at Payne while the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Special from Kansas City with 24 passengers was held at Denison. Houston port switching operations were at a standstill, risking a 50 percent drop in business if the strike lasts. A U S District Judge Hotzoff issued a temporary restraining order, hearings set for next Monday. Pickets were reported at several lines including Katy Pacific Santa Fe and Southern Pacific. The strike was called to press railroad rule changes under the Railway Labor Act.
