Rail Unions Set Strikes
Involving 40,000 Workers
Missouri Pacific Walkout
Is Scheduled For Tomorrow
By The Associated Press e
Three of the nation’s railroads were threatened with
strikes today, making pos#ble the idling of more than
130,000 rail and steel workers.
Some 30,000 workers are set to quit their jobs on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad at 3 p. m. (EST) tomorrow.
Union officials, who rejected an arbitration proposal yes
terday, went ahead with strike plans in the dispute over
some 282 unsettled claims involving about $5,000,000.
~ In Pittsburgh, rail brotherhood
officials have called strikes on two
inter - plant connection carriers
which serve scores of plants, prin
cipally in the steel industry, One
walkout is set for Saturday and
the second for next Tuesday. The
work stoppages on the lines would
make idle some 100,000 steelwork
ers,
Wages are not involved in any
of the rail disputes.
Talks Fail
In *Washington, Frank Douglas,
member of the Mediation Board,
said the board has “given up en
tirely” in its efforts to avert the
strike against the Missouri Pacific
Line, .
Four rail unions are involved in
the dispute. They are the Loco
s | fmeeads SHONOE "TP
Labok ers,, Enginemen
and Firemen,
ROU“dUP Railroad Train
s 0 TONOR AN Railway
Conductors. In Cleveland yester
day brotherhood spokesmen said
they had decided to make “no
change whatsoever” in their strike
plans. 5
The strike called in Pittsburgh
by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen stemmed from disputes
involving technical interpretation
of various rules.
~ Other major labor developments
across the nation included:
- In New York, Cyrus S. Ching,
‘head of the Federal Mediation and
r,Cmciliation Service, planned Sep
arate copferences with negotiators
in attempts to effect a settlement
of the 131 day old Hawaiian dock
strike. Harry Bridges, heéad of
the CIO International Longshore
men and Warehousemen’s Union,
demanded that picketing and
“blacklisting™ issues be settled be
fore any general settlement is
reached in the dispute. >
Senate Trade
Debates In
Second Day
WASHINGTON, Sept. B—(AP)
—The Senate headed today into
the second round of a bitter parti
san debate over trade policies.
The tension was heightened by
the British-Canadian American
conferences over Britain’s dollar
crisis and foreign trade problems,
now going on here,
The British dilemma was ex
pected to figure prominently
throughout the Senate scrap.
Senator Millikin (R.-Colo.),
ranking GOP member of the Sen
ate Finance Committee planned to
speak for several hours.
The bill, already approved by
the House, would exterd the Pres
ident’s power to adjus¢ tariffs by
agreements with other countries to
June 12, 1951, but drop out peril
point provisions inserted in the
one-vear extension voted by the
GOP-controlled 80th Congress.
This act expired last June 12.
The peril point provision, which
is heart of the dispute, would re
quire the President to report so
Congress whenever, in a trade
agreement, he authorized a tariff
below the rate which the Tariff
Commission considers safe for
American business.
