Missouri Pacific Strike To Idle 20 000 Rail Workers
About 5 000 members of four operating brotherhoods plan a 3 p m walkout on the Missouri Pacific Railroad affecting 11 states. Talks to avert the strike failed and no new meetings are set. President Truman said the government has exhausted nearly all authority to prevent the stoppage. The dispute covers 282 union claims worth about 3 million dollars dating back up to 10 years. The strike would idle 20 000 to 22 500 other Mo Pac employees and disrupt 1 100 communities dependent on the line.
