About a week ago pickets were
stopping all trucks as they en-
tered cities and as a result hund-
reds were held at Lancaster, York
and Harrisburg, At the former
city congestion got so bad that the
State Police “requested” the truck-
ers to park on side streets, Can
you imagine anything like that?
They simply requested, not insisted.
When questioned the police said
they had no authority whatever
to interfere. That's a horse laff on us.
Any labor representative, at any-
time, has the privilege and au-
thority, without any interference
by the police to stop you on the
highway and hold you there.
If that is actually true our police
would be a big joke.
At York the State Police were
laughed at to such an extend that
when a truck driver was stopped.
they, the police would tell the
driver to park in the middle of
the highway. After that Police
had authority to keep highways
open and would insist the driver
move on.
In that way many trucks got
thru the picket line, but when we
get to the point that State Police
have no authority on our high-
ways relative to “hold-ups” then
it is time to investigate matters.
