The Associated Press reports union and management negotiators failed to settle the rail wage dispute ahead of a looming partial strike set for Monday morning. The unions demanded 31 cents per hour, rejecting a 23 cent offer, affecting 300000 members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order for Railway Conductors. President Truman directed continued talks and urged unions to call off the strike. A token yardmen walkout was planned for 6 am local time, with the broader conflict lingering after 17 months. Reports also note progress on other labor disputes including a Packard settlement after long talks over a 3 cent across the board raise for maintenance workers.
