Rail unions and railroads fail in overnight talks
An all-night bargaining session between the nation's railroads and four shopcraft unions failed to avert the threat of a nationwide railroad strike. Chief mediator W J Usery Jr said talks could go either way and declined to say if progress was made. The White House budget office urged delaying a request for a new nuclear powered aircraft carrier to curb defense costs next year. The Pentagon plans to urge President Ford to reject a delay, arguing inflation would raise carrier costs. This tests Donald Rumsfeld early in his tenure as defense secretary.
