The labor spotlight shifted to the nation’s capital
today as top government officials moved into the dead-
locked oil tie-up, which Petroleum Administrator Harold
L. Ickes said “jeopardized the security of every American,
citizen.”
The turbulent labor struggle in the refinery industry
was mirrored throughout the country by strikes and shut-
downs keeping a total of 680,000 U. S. workers away from
their jobs. Oil workers, like most of the strikers, want
52 hours’ pay despite cutbacks to 40 hours a week.
