Prospects Dim for Early Missouri Pacific Settlement
St Louis Sept 16 Prospects for ending the week old Missouri Pacific railroad strike dimmed as four striking brotherhoods rejected a management plan. They proposed a counter plan after a 90 minute session. Trustee Guy A Thompson said no real progress had been made. Five thousand trainmen are on strike with 20 000 other Missouri Pacific workers laid off. The management plan sought to call off the strike and settle disputes by paying some claims and routing others to federal agencies. The Cotton Belt line saw renewed picket action in southwestern Illinois disrupting service for 24 hours.
