The switchmen in American railroads struck, not as Communists but to defend national interests. Their action disrupted rail traffic and defense production, with freight embargoes and cancelled passenger trains. Government ownership meant the strike was effectively against the state, despite union leaders opposing the walk-out and urging workers to return. The public bears the burden of disruption while officials and the press debate loyalties and motives.
