Promises to Delay More Labor Trouble
Washington reports two striking rail unions pledged to pause further walkouts for now. About 300,000 trainmen and conductors agreed not to spread unrest after this week’s five‑day shutdowns at three terminals and two steel‑carrying lines. White House pressure and Truman peace efforts prompted renewed talks, with unions avoiding new orders out of respect for the president. No duration was set for the moratorium. The strikes hit terminals in Cleveland Gaulsville and St Paul and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie lines. A separate offer proposed a three year no‑strike pact in exchange for a 23 cent hourly raise to offset a reduced 40 hour week.

Soaring food costs pushed the official cost of living index to its highest level in almost two years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the consumer price index rose 1.4 percent between June 15 and July 1, lifting the April 13 to July 15 increase to about 3 percent. About 76,000 salaried GM employees plus 335,000 hourly workers will get a $2.51 monthly cost-of-living allowance, tied to the index rise, while GM warns against assumed price hikes and aims to hold prices steady.
