Switchmen Strike Threatens Major Northwest Tie-Up
After fifteen days of futile talks the Switchmen Union and thirteen railroad managers failed to reach an agreement. A 220 member strike began at 6 30 oclock tonight, with demands for double pay on Sundays and overtime, higher daily wages, and changes in meal period rules. The managers warned of far reaching disruption across lines west of Havre and Billings, while the union predicted the most complete railroad traffic tie up in the affected territory, possibly eclipsing the 1897 strike.
