Intervention of Truman Narrows GM Wage Dispute
The 23 day strike at General Motors continues with no immediate settlement in sight as President Truman faces calls to intervene. Union leaders hope government involvement may guide settlements with GM Ford or Chrysler. A 30 percent wage demand by the union was rejected by Ford, while GM offered 50 cents an hour increases and faced pushback. A House bill extending the anti racketeering act to labor unions moved to the Senate amid labor opposition. Separately a National Labor Relations Board ballot among 200 000 CIO Electrical Workers across 75 centers in 16 states indicated possible strikes after Jan 1 to press wage demands. The Potomac Edison dispute in Cumberland Maryland disrupted transit with an AFL unit seeking higher wages.
