Government weighs emergency powers over British power strike
London officials say the government may use emergency powers to deploy troops at power stations as 125000 workers refuse overtime in a wage dispute. After talks with both sides failed, Robert Carr said a cabinet meeting could decide on intervention. Frank Chappel of the power workers dismissed talks as a waste and warned no further council meetings were planned as the four hour session ended. The strike has cut power by 21 percent for five days, leaving many households dining by candlelight.
