Original Toronto Star caption: Nothing was moving at the usually busy Leaside station this morning except this small car used by communication men. Telegrams sent to the company and the union by acting prime minister C. D. Howe; asking for a postponement of the strike to allow further negotiations; were rejected by both parties. Demands have poured in from all sides; asking the federal government to step in and force a halt to the strike
