Transit Strike Ties
Up Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, (>P) — Phila
delphia’s three million trolley, bus
and subway travelers braced
themselves yesterday for a transit j
strike set for midnight last night.
The walkout will result in Phil
adelphia’s third major transporta
tion tie-up in five years—wah ap
proved by a majority of the 11,000
members of local 234, ClO-trans
port workers union, employed by
the Philadelphia transportation
company.
The contract between the
company and the union expired at
the time set for the strike—mid
night last night.
Negotiations broke down last
Thursday when the company and
union failed to reach an agree
ment on the union’s demand for
40 cents per hour raise. -Union
president Joseph B. Dougherty
said the PTC countered with an
offer of six more cents an hour.
Motormen and conductors at
present are paid $1.12 an hour on
two-man cars and $1.20 per hour
on one-man operations. Mainten
ance workers receive from 94
cents to $1.48 an hour.

GARY, Ind. <JP) — The Taft
Hartley law is driving commun
ists out of American and into Co
nadian unions, Senator Taft (R.

The Ohioan brought his cam
paign for GOP Presidential dele
gate support to this organized la
bor stronghold after hearing Illi
nois audiences applaud to his de
mand for a federal tax cut.
Declaring that communists had
found their easiest road to infil
tration in unions, Taft told Gary
service clubs in a prepared ad
dress:
“Today those communist mem
bers are resigning, as one did this
week in Washington My Canadi
an friends tell me that several
mining unions there are being
swamped with communists who
have left the United States be
cause they no longer can make use
of their favorite device of infiltra
tion.”
Taft did not otherwise identify
the union official to whom he re
ferred.

of Mrs. Lester Bronson, is visiting
relatives and friends in Nome,
