nd may be near
in trucker’s strike
United Press International
The striking Independent
ruckers Association’s talks
dth the Reagan administration
lay lead to a breakthrough in
week-long strike but he
[urged drivers to stay off the
road.
j ITA President Michael Par-
thurst said Sunday reports of
plmost 550 shootings and 1,600
[other acts of violence against
ion-striking truckers were di
verting attention from their
financial problems.
“Something will be
innounced by Wednesday or
(Thursday,” he said during a
iMidwest tour to gain support for
the strike. “It won’t mean,
|however, that the shutdown is
>ver. I’m not accepting anything
las meaningful until I see it on
Jpaper. But if you want me to
[accomplish it for you, you
should stay shut down.
“If not, it will have all been
for naught — 2 billion pounds of
freight shut down a day for six
days. Twenty million a day in
lost wages. Isn’t that disgusting?
But that’s what it’s cost.”
Parkhurst called the strike last
Monday to pressure Congress to
repeal a bill that increases fuel
taxes and road use fees and is
expected to cost truckers about
$5,200 annually. The ITA esti
mates as many as 70,000 drivers
are participating but many
admit only the violence is keep
ing them off the highways.
Supplies of vegetables and
fruit already are not as plentiful
in the Northeast because of the
strike and more shortages may
occur this week.
“Prices will be substantially
higher next week if the trucks
don’t get in,” said David Smith,
co-owner of Fairway Fruits and
Vegetables in New York City.
The 100,000 independent
drivers, who own their tractors
and haul trailers for a fee, deliv
er 90 percent of the nation’s
fresh food.
Reports of shootings, rock-
throwings and other vandalism
tapered slightly in many states
during the weekend. ITA offi
cials say they do not condone the
violence.
Ohio ITA President Marvin
Hickman of Cincinnati criticized
a statement by President Reagan
implying that striking truckers
were murderers.
“That statement alone is
probably going to prolong the
strike,” Hickman said. “We’ve
got a justice system in this coun
try that says you’re innocent un
til proven guilty.”
