No Decision Reached Yet In Bus Fight
Mayor Frank Hahn offered to mediate between Cedar Rapids City Lines and the AFL union to avert a strike after both sides said no meeting was scheduled. Union President Arthur Klopp and manager E A Prochaska noted no walkout would occur until international approval and negotiations failed. A train delay caused early-morning bus confusion as Stack from Chicago and Armstrong from Detroit were brought in to assist. Klopp said drivers are ready to stay up all night in talks to avoid a strike, stressing transportation is vital. The union voted overwhelmingly to strike over a pay bracket dispute without wage increases.
