U S Steps in as Rail Yard Strike Spreads
A sudden, crippling strike by railroad yard workers spread from Chicago to Washington and St. Louis despite a federal court order. Freight traffic halted in St. Louis and Chicago, with passenger and mail service affected in Washington. The walkout began in Chicago with 10,000 workers, and a federal judge ordered the union to end the one-day action. The government seized carriers last August over wage-hour disputes, saying the stoppage interfered with the war effort. Industry-wide disruption followed as steel plants slowed and shipments delayed, signaling possible Christmas mall delays and broader economic impact. Four rail unions warned of spread unless mediation leads to a settlement, blaming John R. Steelman’s talks for delays. A temporary restraining order was issued to end the walkout.
