Trucks in Operation After Prolonged Pittsburgh Strike
Thousands of Pittsburgh district truckers, idle for two days during a costly strike, resumed work triggering a severe traffic jam. AFL drivers accepted a flat six cent an hour wage increase pending a hearing by the national defense mediation board in Washington. Some operators left the Western Pennsylvania Labor Relations Association to sign blank agreements with the union for a ten cent an hour increase sought since June 1. It's estimated food stuffs will clear in a week and other freight in about ten days.
