Rail Talks Stall On Verge Of Pact
Washington AP reports railway labor talks near settlement stalled on Thursday as the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks postponed its strike deadline by one week at the request of WJ Usery Jr. Ford administration labor troubleshooter. The union represents 117000 workers, about a quarter of the industry's workforce, and has sought a settlement differing from earlier signings by six other rail unions.
