E P Ripley leads a contingent returning from Washington to press the plan, warn workers against striking, and prepare to keep at least one passenger train running while perishable freight is prioritized. An injunction halts a potential strike on Union Pacific, and extensive embargo lists emerge across major carriers ahead of Labor Day.
