A columnist muses on the trash strike in Manhattan as a symbol of how built in limits of a free society may be tested. He contrasts past voluntarism with modern public employee unions, noting a $425 raise settlement for 10,000 trash collectors and the broader implications for city survival and labor power.

Paradox Surtax Urged To Trim Consumer Spending
Paradoxical findings show savings at 7.5 percent of after tax personal income in late 1967. If this rate held through 1968, consumer spending could fall by 9 to 10 billion dollars.
