Pulp and Paper Strike Grips British Columbia Mills
About 12,000 pulp and paper workers in British Columbia walked out on Wednesday, threatening the province’s economy and newsprint exports to the United States. The strike risks clogging mills with wood chips and shutting down timber operations, though U S newsprint supply remains ample. Two unions plus others staged strikes, with 10 of BC’s 20 mills already shut for the moment.

House Won't Ban One Sex Classes in Education Bill
The House narrowly voted 212 to 211 to prohibit a government ban on single sex physical education and organizations in schools. The amendment to a 7.9 billion bill for education aid would curb HEW regulations slated to take effect next week, with Senate action uncertain. Rep. Bob Casey says it only prevents forced sex integration in P E classes, not overall integration. Opponents note exemptions for contact sports and sex education remain.
