demand for changes in working rules
for one year. Workers will get a pay
increase of 10 1I2 cents an hour.
In his address to Congress at the
time the strike ended President Tru-
man asked for drastic legislation to
prevent repetition of such economy
Gripping crises as the railroad strike.
By vote of 306 to 13 the House of
Representatives speedily approved
the anti-strike legislation which
would authorize the induction into
the army of workers on strike who
refued to return to work under
government operation.

roads back to the owners on Sunday
and lifted the embargo on non-vital
freight.
