War Work Hampered By Illinois Strike [ 1 Interurban Drivers Strike At Aurora ' Aurora, 111., Feb. 12.—(UP)—Bas . transportation for some 30,000 ; Aurora-Elgin area war workers was stalled today by a strike of ap- . proximately 75 interurban drivers. The drivers, members of local . 215. Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and MotoT ; Coach Employes (AFL), voted strike action yesterday to protest ’ failure of the war labor board to grant a company-approved wage increase. Meanwhile, office of price administration officials appealed to motor- ■ ists to pick up stranded residents : and promised extra gasoline allowances, while army labor relations officers moved to meet with . city and union officials to effect a • compromise. W. T. Able, area OPA director, 1 said that 100,000 residents of the , area, of whom approximately 30,000 ■ are employed in war plants, were entirely dependent on the bus lines for transportation. Lines affected are the Aurora-Elgin bus lines, an interurban line, the Aurora city lines aud the Elgin bus lines. Richard Plum, union business agent, said the case went before the regional WLB last March after 1 company officials had approved a six-cent-an-hour raise. The wage increase was denied by the board at that time and again on an appeal from the union. !_o 179 Nazi Paratroops In Bulk Surrender > iWith Canadian First Army. West- ■ ern Front, Felb.
