London Strike Averted as Rail Clerks Win Recognition
London officials say a threatened strike by railway clerks has been averted after employers recognized the Railway Clerks' Union. The 75,000 members include station masters and ticket sellers. Talks with Sir Robert Horne and Sir Wilfrid Stanley followed a two hour cabinet session, but union leaders report no satisfaction on a 40 hour week and fear a strike may still occur.
