Many Strikes
Flare In London
(By Tom Williams)
LONDON, (/P)—The Labor gov
ernment used 8,000 troops and
sailors today to move strike-bound
food to hungry Londoners, touch
ing off a wave of sympathy strikes
which involved more than 7,000
workers and threatened to mush
room to gigantic proportions.
Within 15 minutes of the arrival
of army personnel at Smithfield
Market, the city’s largest meat dis
tributing center, more than 2300
employees walked off the job in
support of more than 15,000 truck
drivers who started an unofficial
strike last Monday and rejected
pleas of union leaders to reutrn to
work.
The truckmen demand a 44-hour
instead of a 48-hour week; two
weeks paid vacation, half pay
during illnes sand adjustment of
overtime pay conditions. The 45
member road haulage central
wages board met in emergency
session to consider the demands
and a previous decision which
touched off the walkout.
London was tense. All police
