Fruitless talks in Selby Shoe strike at Portsmouth
Cincinnati June 25 Attempts to settle the 40 day old Selby Shoe Co strike in Portsmouth ended without agreement.

Federal conciliators recessed hearings and said further meetings could be called by both sides. The dispute could influence contracts for 250000 shoe workers nationwide. Representatives from Selby and the United Shoe Workers CIO attended with union leaders Emerson Pence and Emert Dunaway.
