Trucker strike extends to New England and mid-Atlantic
News out of New York and Buffalo report truckers continuing a month long strike against hot freight. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters locals say pledges were received to keep firms with unsettled contracts off the road. In Buffalo a fire at an Army surplus hangar caused $22,000 in damage, ruled by short circuit. The labor party backed Mead for governor and Lehman for senator, while picket lines formed at Westinghouse in a union dispute involving 1300 workers. Cold weather triggered a slight retail sales dip, though Dun & Bradstreet notes sales remain above year ago levels.
