Yeltsin Prime Minister Jozef Oleksy has left for New York to attend a UN meeting. Oleksy denied insinuations that he has his own vision of a European order with Russia playing a major role. Before leaving, Oleksy met with President Walesa. Both politicians seemed pleased with the outcome of their conversation. The strike by railway workers in Upper Silesia encompassed intercity trains last night.
Negotiations appear to be in progress.
Meanwhile the trains are trying to use alternative routes.
