Efforts To Halt New York Transit Strike Fail
New York City faces a near total transit shutdown as talks between transit unions and the city stall. Contempt orders were issued against the Transport Workers Union and Michael Quill for continuing a strike prohibited by a state court. Quill claims the strike remains in effect and vows strengthened picket lines Monday. Mayor Lindsay warned that only a quarter of residents could reach work without subways or buses, amid a holiday lull in commuters.
