Strike Ties Up Collection of Garbage Here
City Will Attempt Resumption of Service Tomorrow A “wildcat” strike halted city garbage and trash collections here today and curtailed treatment of sanitary sewage. About 200 sanitation department employees were ordered off the job at 7 a. m. today when union bosses declared a breakdown in city wage negotiations, "Today's results of the strike: ONE: Garbage and trash collections probably be resumed toto use drivers from other departments. TWO: Raw sewage will flow into White River. THREE: Striking drivers will be asked to report at 6 a. m. tomorrow. FOUR: Health ; Department warned of health hazards caused by garbage and trash accumulation. . : The walkout was called by leaders of the Municipal, County and State Employees Union. This halted collections and caused a shut-down of electrical power at the sewage treatment plant. The power loss will permit flow of untreated sewage into White River, although some relief is available from steam generators.
