Cabinet Called as Rail Strike Threat Looms
The cabinet mobilizes as tensions rise over a threatened railroad strike. One advisor favors delaying action to avoid unpatriotic impact, while another argues a national emergency justifies taking control of railways and draft officials. Officials doubt an appeal would work, yet fear a wider stoppage unless the issue is settled before six o clock tomorrow. The President, recently recovered from a cold, weighs a move to compel both sides to resolve the dispute amid a tense international backdrop.
Railroad Tie-Up Looms as Talks Continue
Both sides in the railroad strike dispute agree to more joint conferences though no sign of a compromise appears possible to avert a nationwide disruption. W. G. Lee, head of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, predicts at least one in twelve workers may refuse to strike, citing a biblical reference to Judas as part of his remark.
