STRIKE TIES UP
STATE TRAFFIC
Supervisory Officers Man
Crack ACL Train On
One Way Trip
BY The Associated Press

Rail travel in the Carolinas was
paralyzed when engineers and
trainmen walked out at 4 o'clock
yesterday in the general strike
order.
c. c. Sibley of Wilmington, gen
eral manager of the Atlantic Coast
line railway, said one crack ACL
passenger train, the Havana
Special" left the state after the 4
p. m. strike deadline. 1t left Rocky
Mount for Richmond, manned by
a non-union crew of Supervisory
officers" he said.
Other supervisory officers also
were scheduled to move the south
bound section of the Havana
Special" from Savannah, Ca, to
Jacksonville, Fla.
"One-Way" Trip
The trip for the supervisory Of
ficers, however, was strictly a one
way ''operational" trip, Sibley en-
phasized. The crews will not bring
the trains back under any condi-
tons, he said.
Three of the Coast lines crack
passenger trains quit enroute tc
their scheduled destinations. Trains
No. 2 and 8 of the north-bound

we're deserted by their striking
crews in the Savannah depot. The
south-bound Havana Specials
crew struck at Florence S. c. Seb-
ley said ACL would make no eff
fort to move these trains.
E. C. Bradley, head of the Char
lotte local of the Engineers brother
hood, said Southern railway engl
neers there struck shortly after the
! deadline. He said about 80 engi
neers ultimately would be affect
ed in Charlotte. Engineers brough'
their engines to the roundhouse

Nationwide Stoppage De-
clared To Be "Nearly
100 Per Cent"
CONFER AGAIN TODAY
Two Unions Holding Out
Against Proposal Made
By President
BY FRANCIS T. LEARY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, May %. - A
strike of railroad engineers
and trainmen paralyzed the
nations 227, 000-mile rail sys-
tenn Thursday night in one of
the worst industrial tie-ups
in history, hating nearly all
rail passenger and freight service
and Gripping the nations industry
and commerce.
The Association Of American
American Railroads announced in
Washington that the strike was
almost a 100 per cent shutdown"
with all but two major roads-The
Illinois Central and the Bangor &
Aroostook-virtually halted.
However, there were several
trains being run by strike-bound
roads, manned by executives and
supervisory employees and in some
cases by members of non-striking
unions. But these trains were only
a small fraction of the II, 500 pas
senger trains and "a, 900 freight
trains the nations roads run daily.
No Relief in Sight
There was no immediate relief
in sight. White House negotiations
in Washington had adjourned and
there was no hope that the walk
out could be halted at least until
after the parley is resumed Friday
morning.
The devastating effects of the
strike were beginning to show less
than seven hours after it began at
4 o. M, Thursday in the Eastern
time belt.
A coal industry spokesman said
that the soft coal mines would
have to be shut down within "a
hour because of the car shortages
resulting from the strike.
M. w. Thatcher, general man.
ager of the Farmers Union Grain
Termianl association, said the
strike was tying up movement of
wheat from grain elevators which
means that millions OF people
in foreier countries will die

EIGHT-HOUR FARLEY
FANS To BREAK DEADLOCK

WASHINGTON, May 23-W'D-
An eight-hour White House con-
ference on the rail crisis broke
up Thursday night with leaders OF
the two striking unions still defy
ing President Truman's settlement
proposal, but Presidential Aide
John R. Steelman said he hoped,
the nationwide train strike could
be ended Friday.
Whitney and Johnston told Mr..
Truman that the 18 IL cents an
hour increase amounts to less than
70 per cent increase in pay for
May of their men and falls too
far short of the 80 per cent in
crease in the cost of living since
January, 1941.

the Brotherhoods of Engineers and Trainm fines
President Truman had won consent Of the t, ~ COM
panies to an eighteen and one-half cent wage tease an
hour.
The heads of the brotherhoods rejected this proposal,
despite the fact eighteen other brotherhoods and unions in
railway employ accepted it.
That is to say two men, controlling two labor organiza-
lions with 100000 members, have the power to halt railroad
service against the wish of eighteen other labor organiza-
lions in the same industry with 1900, 900 members and the
willingness of the companies to increase by half a cent an
hour the pay advance generally granted members in
other major unions.
Two men-A. F. Whitney of the trainmen, and AL
vanleya Johnston of the engineers-by a shake of the head
in Washington and a nod to Chicago, stop the movement
of U. s.. mails, cause irreparable damage to %perishable
freight, halt passenger traffic, leave industries without
delivery of essential materials, and because there is no law
under which they can be prosecuted criminally, but instead
are protected by the Wagner Act, go scott free.
