Prospects Dim for Northland Greyhound Bus Strike Settlement
Milwaukee officials from the AFL Streetcar and Busmen's union say the three month old Northland Greyhound Bus Co strike has “not bright” prospects after balloting on a new company proposal. Union executive board member E A Gillespie notes the employer’s dislike for the offer and that results will be known next Tuesday or Wednesday, with voting continuing through Saturday in other areas. The strike began April 27 over wage boosts. J J Brown of the Australian Railways union recently claimed a world record after skipping 22 459 times in 115% minutes.
