Buses Used For Passengers.
Trains from the South were two
hours late reaching Alexandria be-
cause of congestion on the line
caused by the strike. A fleet of
chartered buses stood outside the
small Alexandria station to trans
port passengers to Washington.
In Union Station public ad-
dress system loud speakers peri
odically doomed out announce
ments that buses were parked
outside the station waiting to take
South-bound travellers to Alexan-
dria. The Baltimore and Ohio
railroad also had buses at the sta
ton to take travellers to Silver
Spring to catch through trains
that were by-passing Washington.
Word was flashed at Union Sta
ton that the Pennsylvania's Lib
erty Limited" from Chicago and
Train STA from Buffalo would un-
load at Seventh street and Vir-
ginia avenue S. w.
On hand to help the expected
passengers find transportation

At 10:45 am, after the long
wait, railroad officials received
word that passengers from both
the trains had been switched to
other cars in Baltimore, and that
all had arrived at Union Station
earlier.
The strike fell heavily on COM
muters who travel between Bal
timore and Washington. Some
were almost two hours late for
work when they arrived in Union
Station.

the strike at Alexandria. They

reported on time but the con-
ductor, brakeman and switchman

could not move them without full

Rail Wa|kout Spreads
Despite Court Order
And Army Threats
BY the Associated Press

A Gripping strike by railroad
yardworkers today spread from
Chicago to other key points, tying
up freight and some passenger
and mail service despite an Army
plea and a Federal Court order to
stop it.
The Post Office Department
considered a partial embargo on
parcel post mailings. Such action
would catch late Christmas pack
age mailers short
The walkout began suddenly
yesterday in Chicago. the Nations
rail hub. Today it disrupted ter
minals at Washington, st. Louis
and Baltimore, and piled up
freight at other points. 1t seemed
likely to spread elsewhere.
Army Threatens Action.
The Army threatened to- seek
contempt action against the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men unless it's striking members
obey a court order to end the
wildcat walkout-one which un-
ion leaders disavowed.
A spokesman for the trainmen's
union in Washington, told about
the Army threat, called attention
to the unions telegraphed "re-
turn to work" order, sent to Chi
cago strikers yesterday.
He said the Brotherhood presi-
dent, w. P. Kennedy, "is being
asked to do something by injunc-
tion which he had already done"
The court order was issued last
night in Chicago by Federal
judge. He was told the Army,
which technically is running the
railroads, considers the strike Is
serious interference with the Ko-
rean war effort.
Dispute Is Unchanged.
In Chicaso today the strike
spread to the Milwaukee Road and
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
making a total of IA lines af-
fected in Chicago, the Union Sta
ton said.
In St. Louis the strike followed
the Chicago pattern-chief1y af-
fecting freight. In Washington
passenger service was hardest hit.
Pennsylvania trains heading for
Washington were stopped in Bal
timore. Passengers heading here
were unloaded and transported on
a shuttle service.
The Army, with war supplies
to deliver, found it's hands tied,
although it formally operates the
railroads.
The Army took over on presi-
Dental orders last August after a
strike threat grew out of the
wage-hour dispute.
The dispute remains the same.
The striking trainmen want 48
hours pay for 40 hours work.
Steel Industry Hit.
The strike also seemed likely
to pinch the steel and other key
industries. In Chicago some blast
furnaces already were banked.
In st. Louis, about 1000 car
loads of freight were stranded.
The Federal Court order was
issued last night in Chicago by
Judge William j. Campbell. IT
is a temporary retraining order.
Government lawyers told the
court the strike is "a concerted
action" by the union.
They said it is an obstacle" to
the Korean war effort.
The order is effective until 9:10
pm. December %. The Gov
ernment will appear in court De-

Senator Maybank declared that
no such build-up can be achieved
without wage-price controls, at
least on defense materials and
equipment.
Sterilization officials have said
they don't expect to be in a posi-
ton to impose general wage-price
controls for at least so days.
Selective controls are likely much
sooner.

man as saying wage-price curbs

it's approval of a detailed eco
nomic policy statement" design
ed to insure the nations mill
tary strength and to promote an
equality of-sacrifice policy on

CIO President Murray hailed
