Judge’s injunction keeps rail unions from striking
Federal Judge T Alan Goldsborough issued a preliminary injunction blocking a rail strike while giving engineers firemen and switchmen a chance for a final hearing in about five days. The ruling leaves government seizure of rails in effect and labor disputes deadlocked, with unions obeying the order and a possible later shift after testimony and cross examination.
