Strike At An End
PHILADELPHIA. sub
way guard shouted “watch the
doors!” A crowded bus squealed
to a stop. A trolley motorman be
sought his passengers to “more to
the rear of the car.”
For Philadelphia’s commuting
millians, those were welcome
sounds today. The ctiy’s 10-day
transit strike was over.
The Philadelphia Transporta
tion company’s rolling stock began
moving last night a few hours af
ter rank and file CIO unionists
roared approval of the pay raise
that ended their walkout.
Although the transit tie-up was
ended, the nation’s third largest
city will not soon forget the
“strike of '40.’ which cost business
and industry an estimated $70,
000.000.
The strike gained the CIO trans
port workers union a wage boost
of eight cents an hour and 10
“fringe” benefits. Chief of those
was a provision for sick leave i
payments.
It was a fourth round increase |
for the union, raising the workers’
wages 48 cents above what they j
got in 1946.
