Railroad Strike Threatens North American Rail Transport
The rout combined with the Canadian strike could paralyze rail service across North America. Under WWI era law Truman could seize and run railroads or courts could halt the strike. Negotiations failed after August 7, with a deadlocked stance and unions calling for a 40 hour week with full pay. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors total about 300,000 members affecting many railroads.
