Violence In Kentucky and Birmingham Rail Strikes
The 41 day Louisville and Nashville strike spurred another dynamiting blast near London Kentucky labeled sabotage by FBI official Edward L Boyle. Mass picketing by 12 L and N allied unions occurred in Evansville Indiana under a temporary U S District Court injunction. In Birmingham picket lines disrupted traffic at joint yards of Illinois Central Frisco Lines and Central of Georgia as non striking L N crews handled freight. The National Mediation Board prepared new talks with raid and union officials as Southern governors scheduled a settlement deadline amid a major labor dispute involving about 25000 workers. The key stumbling block is a demand for a jointly financed health insurance plan.
