General Tie Up Threatens Buffalo Area Rail Strike
Reported widespread rail stoppages and freight delays ripple through Central and Western rail yards. Strikes by switchmen and other crews spread from Sayre and Jersey City to Buffalo, with militia and police guarding yards as trains are halted or sabotaged. Officials fear a national escalation unless mediation yields a settlement, while shipments of coal, grain, and flour stack up in warehouses and perishable freight risks spoilage.
