Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Striking Jorday-Denco bus drivers withdrew picket lines from around Oklahoma City's Union bus station at 7 p.m. Thursday, but a union spokesman said they will return "at sunup" Friday. At the same time, he said, striking drivers will continue to picket bus terminals in Durant, Higo, Idabel and Ada as the 93-day-old labor dispute threatened to disrupt operations of five other major bus companies in the state. Albert Long, president of local 1480 (AFL) in Ardmore, said "We don't plan to withdraw our pickets until we have been assured Jordan-Denco buses will not use these terminals. I want to emphasize we are not striking against anybody but Jordan-Denco." A partial stalemate in bus transportation was created when the Jordan bus arrived at Union station Thursday afternoon. Striking Jordan drivers picketed and union drivers for the other companies refused to cross the picket line.
