A surprise strike against the Illinois Central Railroad brings to a climax the management labor controversy that has been simmering for nearly five years. The railroad put new work rules into effect and the Unions threatened a strike. President Johnson's persuasive powers halted the strike for at least 15 days, having called both sides of the dispute to the White House for a meeting.
