Chicago transit strike freezes surface and elevated lines
Chicago faced a citywide transit standstill after a strike began at 4 am when surface and elevated workers refused to ratify a deal with company officials. Traffic in the loop clogged, police recalled officers, and a citizen traffic squad planned for tomorrow to aid the depleted force. About two million people sought other means or stayed home as union leaders and managers argued over terms. Leonard A. Busby and President Britton I. Budd commented on the public bearing temporary inconveniences to avoid terms that would raise fares.
