Transit Strike Threat
In New York Ended by
Promise Of 24c Raise
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 29.-With the
prospect of pay increase of "a
cents an hour for workers on both
city-owned and private transit lines
to be financed by increased fares
New York was free today of
threats Of imminent transportation
strikes.
A strike which had been set for
today by 10000 workers on six
private bus and trolley lines carry
ing 3,500000 passengers daily was
called off yesterday by the CIO
Transport Workers Union.
The decision was made by the
union after Mayor william ODwyer
repeatedly told officials of the COM
panleS that the city would deal
justly with requests for fare rises
to meet increased wage costs. City
approval is required for fare sched-
ules on private transit lines.
City Fares to Be Increased.
Fares on city-owned lines are
going up July from 5 to 10 cents
on subway and elevated lines and
from 5 10 cents on bus and trolley
lines.
The Mayor was reported to have
told the private line operators that
the city plans an increase of "a cents
an hour starting July for its AZ, ,OOC
transit workers. The union, hoping
Tor similar increase on the six
private lines operating in Manhat-
tan, the Bronx, Queens and West
chester County, postponed a strike
Indefinitely.
Evening star., 1948-04-29

With "a cents an hour as a tenta
tive pattern, negotiations between
the TWU and the private lines are
set to resume tomorrow.
Union Demanded 30 cents.
The union has been demanding 80
cents, along with improved pension
rights and other benefits. A strike
against city-owned lines was threat
ened recently before Mayor O'Dwyer
announced the city fare increase
making pay raise possible.
The strike threat against private
lines was withdrawn after the
Mayor addressed a joint meeting OF
management and union representa-
tives yesterday at City Hall.
Most transit workers now receive
$l.20 an hour and, on the basis of
the 40-hour week generally worked
an increase of "a cents an hour
would mean an annual increase of
about 5000. 1t was estimated un-
officially that "a cents an hour would
cost the city s22 100000 a year.
The six companies which had been
threatened with a strike today are
the Third Avenue Transit Corp, New
York City Omnibus Corp, Fifth Ave-
nue. Coach Co. East Side and Com
prehensive Omnibus Corp. and the
Avenue B and East Broadway Tran
sit Corp.

New Big Inch
Pipeline Will
Be Constructed
Through This
Section In Very
Near Future

Texas Eastern Transmission
Corp, is acquiring a right f-way
through Ohio, which includes
Noble county, for a new 26-inch
pipeline, Attorney Richard Ran
kin of Washington Court House,
said today.
The pipe will parallel the "big
and little inch" lines and will be
larger than both the others,
Rankin said. He and his partner,
Ed L. Bush, are completing title
work for the company in Fayette
county, he reported.
Rankin said Texas Eastern
plans to start the new line at
Middletown and run it through
Steubenville, to a point near
Pittsburgh, Pa. He said the new
line would be used chiefly for
storing natural gas until 1850,
when it will be linked with a
26-inch line from the Texas
fields.
The new line will be placed
about IS feet south of the "big
inch" and construction work will
start soon, he added. The "big
inch" which runs through Noble
county, is a 24-inch line and the
little inch" is 20 inches in dia-
meter.
The booster station for this
county is located in the Summer
field community.
Engineers are still seeking to
learn the cause of an explosion
on the "big inch" which oc-
Cured near Seymour, Ind, in
juring II persons and spreading
fire over several acres of farm
and woodland.
The pipeline exploded Friday
night in two blasts that were
heard Is miles away. 1t was be-
lieved at first that the little
inch" pipeline at less than 100
feet, also had blown but fire
men later found the smaller pipe
intact.
The blast occurred at booster
pumping station, similar to the
one at Summerfield. One engi.
neer said he believed a 24-inct
valve blew out, squirting gas 6
distance of $50 yards. The gas
he said, may have been igniteo
by friction as it shot from the
broken valve.
Flames shot 800 feet into the
air and motorists reported see
ing the glow of the fire as far
away as Kentucky as the flames
burned through nearby fields.
Construction of the new "big
inch" throughout Noble county is
again expected to bring an addi,
tional boom in business, as well
as housing problems for the en-
gineers in charge.
