an attempt to avert a threatened strike which could paralyse practically all New York's public transport on New Year's Day.
But even as the talks began Apokesmen for the Transport Workers Union, which is calling for a 15 per cent wage rise, told reporters they regarded a strike as "virtually certain."
The strike, due to begin at midnight on New Year's Eve, would involve about
38,000 workers on the city's subways, city-owned busca, and private bus lines.

$220,000 Worth Of
Silk Lost
latorpol have been called in to investigate the mysterious disap- pearance of $220,000 worth of silk betwoon China and Hoburt over a period of 13 months.
According to Router report the Tasmanian police had "almost definitely" es- tablished that the silk had been stolen either in China or Hongkong.
But the Hongkong Police denied this al- logation and said that there was no evidence to show the pilfering had occurred in the Colony.
A Police spokesman added that investiga- tions were still proceed- ing after a request had been received from tho Australian Police.
Interpol were called in after investigations indicated that the thofts were the result of "colossal organisa- tion and planning,” the Tasmanian authorities ravcaled yesterday.
