Rail Strike Continues Across Major Lines
Chicago May 11 A strike by railroad firemen against four major rail systems threatens sharp cuts in many industries nationwide. Early settlement looks unlikely as 18 000 firemen walk out, with up to 200 000 other rail workers at risk of idleness if the dispute persists. Some coal mines and rail services feel the impact as a third of passenger and a fifth of freight traffic are disrupted. Bundled lines cancel service while bus and airlines see surging business. The union demands a second fireman on multiple unit diesels. currently one fireman and one engineer operate large diesels.
