Union Rebuts Eden as Britain's Rail Strike Intensifies
Britain’s 67 000 locomotive engineers and firemen reject Eden’s back to work plea. Union leaders accuse the PM of misstating facts and vow to press wage talks while stevedores near a new conference amid a 20 000 man walkout that has stalled several seaports and tied up freight, with 200 ships idle and 2 000 passengers delayed. Eden warns the economy and export trade hang in the balance as trains run at a fraction of normal. The strikers demand $1.12 weekly raises from a $27.50 base.

Tobacco Market Openings and Belt Trends Studied
A joint study by the State Department of Agriculture and North Carolina State College School of Agriculture concludes warehouse space has roughly doubled in 20 years and that there is adequate space for a typical marketing schedule. Redrying could handle the crop in about 12 weeks if evenly distributed, but imbalances in grades and buying patterns prevent ideal distribution. The report notes earlier market openings in the Middle and Old Belts over 25 years, with harvests starting earlier in the Middle Belt, and cites improved road movement and narrowing price spreads among belts. Old Belt tobacco prices have lagged crop averages due to leaf group composition and higher proportions of lower-priced grades.
