remained in the city during the truck
drivers strike.
Several drivers were beaten, trucks
disabled and overturned and mer-

The minor disturbances contrasted
with the word of strike leaders that
they would behave, given Gov. Floyd

today on the strike situation. He
refused then to divulge whether it
would deal with the lifting of mar
tial rule.
