Rail Strike Spreads
Hope For Early
Settlement

By the Associated IPress
Rail links between New York
and the heat of the country were
breaking apart today.
Elsewhere, the crisis caused by
the switchmen’s “sick call” strike
was growing more critical.
Twenty-five major trains con
necting New York with the west
were cancelled. .
Both the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania shut off vital
commuter service between New
York and many suburbs.
Other cities had similar prob
lems.
Cincinnati, a union terminal of
ficial said, will be without pass
enger train service within 24
hours unless the strike ends. Nor
mally, ill passenger trains daily
move in and out of Cincinnati.
An army spokesman said that
only the Rock Island and Chicago
Great Eatem roads are operating
normally at Chicago. Others, he
went pn, are “hobbling along"
with supervisors throwing the
switches.
A shutdown of eighlFord Mo
tor Co. plants becanstref parts and
materials shortages resulting:tn
the freight tie-up threw 12,500
Ford employees out of work.
Closing of the Kaxafas City
plant whs caused by both the rail
strike and a power failure. If
power is restored, the plant prob
ably will be reopened tomorrow.
Millions of long-distance pass
engers and big city commuters
were hit by railrdad curtailments.
Bus strikes added to the trans
portation tieup. The worst o f
these was in New Jersey, where
1,600,000 bus and trolley riders
were without service.
The way was paved, however,
for early settlement of the one
day-old strike on the vast Public
Service transportation system,
which has been seized by the state
of New Jersey.
Officials of the company and
AFL union leaders reached a con
tract agreement.
