Engineers Strike Looms Over Diesel Crew Demands
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in Chicago called a 25 000 engineer strike against 15 Western railroads for next Monday January 31 to win a second engineer for diesel locomotives.

The Arkansas sales tax bill and a renamed Temperance league in Little Rock are noted alongside context on liquor and mobility costs.
