Strike at Southern Railway Ends Overnight Tie Up
A sudden Southern Railway freight strike ended after U S District Court Judge J Robert Elliott signed an emergency order at 3 45 a m. Picket lines halted mail and passenger service briefly until the unions complied. A Jan 13 hearing will decide the ongoing issue of whether freight train crew should ride in the engine or caboose. Both unions and employers are urged to act responsibly to protect public service.
