Strike Paralyses Argentina Rails
The anti Peron Brotherhood of Engineers and Firemen continued a two line strike for a second day while inspectors and roundhouse workers kept all Argentine railroads operating. Commuter trains were near normal on four main lines damaged yesterday by explosions that ripped tracks. Police at provincial stations were withdrawn. Government says criminals allied to hostile forces caused the blasts. Reports say the strike hit Junin and Ingeniero to the south, not yet reaching Buenos Aires or Rosario.
