At the same time, Wirtz told the committee he could not hold out any prospect of an early negotiated end to the 24-day walkout.

Wayne Morse's strike ending plan, flatly ordering a six-month to the walkout, in preference to legislation which would empower President Johnson to issue as many as three 60-day strike ending orders.
