PEACE MOVES IN STRIKE
Bid To Reconcile Warring Unions (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, June 2. Britain s Trades Union Congress will launch a supreme effort today to settle the inter-union differences behind the country s five-day-old rail strike. „ AnT he * leaders hope that the wage claims of the 70,000 sinking tram drivers and firemen can be resolved by talks between the leaders of the two major rail unions who«e divergent views have complicated the crisis. The unions are the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, which is on strike, and the non-striking National Union of Railwaymen which has 400,000 members.
Britain’s foremost leaders of organised labour are working almost around the clock to settle the dispute, and avoid widespread unemployment, by the week-end.
