ON WAGES CLAIM
Mediation Effort By TUC Unsuccessful
London, June 1.
British trade union leadership failed today to persuade striking rail workers to call off a four-day old strike which has crippled transportation throughout the nation.
The strike was called on Saturday midnight by the to discuss a Yugoslav Amalgamated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, which seeks higher wage differentials for its 67,000 members. The strike is opposed by the 400,000 strong National Union of Railwaymen.

Representatives of the striking union, whose walkout led to a state of emergency in Britain, proclaimed yesterday by the Queen, stood pat on their wage claims in talks with British trade union leaders today...
They conferred with members of a special committee of the British Trades Union Congress, appointed to try to end the strike by negotiation. The committee is expected to meet tomorrow with the National Union of Railwaymen and it was believed possible that the TUC leadership might later arrange a meeting of the two rival unions.
