Firemen Face Contempt Charge Over Atlanta Strike
In Atlanta, about 500 striking firemen faced possible contempt citations for defying a judge order to return to duty. Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. sought charges against the Firemen’s Union, its president Captain J J Martin, and members as only a skeleton crew operated at city stations. Fire protection remained near normal, with 170 on duty and 25 more than Tuesday, while the stoppage marked a historic 40 year first in the nation for firemen.
