nationwide railroad strike, set to
begin at 6 ajn. local standard time
next Monday, was called by the
two big rail unions today immedi
ately after White. House peace
uuxs couapsea. . .
A similar nationwide strike in
Canada, now in its second day, has
caused the most serious transport
crisis in Canada's history.
Barring intervention' by Presi
dent Truman which seemed al
most inevitable the UJS. walk
out . combined with the Canadian
strike would virtually paralyze rail
transportation in the North Amer
ican hemisphere.. ; ;
Seizure Aatberixed
Under a World War I act of
1916, Mr. Truman could seize the
railroads and operate them under
government supervision. Or he
could get a court injunction to
stave off the strike.-
At the White House, Assistant
Press Secretary Eben Ayers said
there was no official comment and
that no action would be taken to
night' - , -v 4 - .-.! : I;-'-
Ayers said Mr. Truman was in
formed of the strike call immedi
ately after the White House re
ceived word of it shortly before
6 p.m., Washington time.
The 17-months-old dispute over
wages and hours reached the
breaking point less than 60 min
utes after the White House had
temporarily called off talks with
both sides which have been in
progress since Aug. 7.
"Case Is Deadlocked' ?
Leaving the White House, union
and management negotiators join
ed in a statement saying:
"The case isTieadiockeoV
Union leaders went directly to a
downtown hotel and at 5:30 p.m.
issued the text of the following
telegram to Presidential Assistant
John R. Steelman:
"Please be advised and advise
the president that we have author
ized train and yardmen withdrawn
from service on all railroads in the
United States 6 am. standard time.
Monday. Aug. 28. as a result of
failure to reach settlement on the
national rules movement"
Ask 40-Hour Week .
The unions call their wage-hour
dispute a "national rules move
ment' because it involves changes
in the operating rules for railroad
employes. '
The unions are demanding a 40-
hour week with no loss in take-
home pay from their present 48-
hour wages, plus other adjustments
in working conditions. ;
The two unions tho Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen and the
Order of Railway Conductors
have a membership of some 300,-
000 workers. A total of 131 rail
roads would be involved in the
strike.
Twice during the current White
House negotiations and once ear
lier in the year the unions urged
President Truman to take over the
railroads to avert a stoppage in the
nation's rail transport system.
