Strike at Eastalco Mallows to Labor Dispute Sparks Lockout
Bucketsown Eastalco aluminum plant faced a mass strike as United Steelworkers protested alleged use of cheaper labor after a three year contract expired at midnight. Police in riot gear contained a crowd at the main gate while a private security van passed at 1:40 a.m. One arrest followed for malicious destruction of property and another for refusing to leave the road. State police pledged to protect picket lines and plant access as management moved staff to Buckerstown for ongoing operations.

WTRI seeks major signal boost in Loudoun County
The new owner linked to Lyndon LaRouche has applied to the FCC for a fivefold signal increase for WTRI from 500 to 9320 watts. Two 111-foot towers would be added to direct the beam southwest toward Leesburg and Brunswick, with an omni 200-foot tower retained behind Brunswick High School. The plan would expand coverage to 34-35 miles southwest while limiting northwest reach, pending FAA clearance and FCC review. Construction permits would follow a four month minimum process after public notice.
