Moscone offers 48 hour truce to spur union talks
San Francisco Mayor George Moscone proposed a 48 hour pause in the 21 day strike by craft unions to revive negotiations. He said public opinion is against the strikers and urged unions to show concern for the public. If leaders push the city to its knees, he sees no light at the end of the tunnel. The unions, representing 1700 workers, had halted some picketing and called for intensive around the clock talks. Police faced a brief clash with mace as buses were blocked at East Bay Terminal, but service continued.
