Miller moves on to Cincinnati and beyond in stalled talks

The article traces Miller's negotiating swing to Cincinnati Friday, New York Saturday, Houston and Philadelphia next week, ending in Miami on March 2 as owners push for a spring training start with a players accord. Owners seek changes to the reserve clause while Miller defends the current language amid a wide gap on key issues. The owners propose an eight year veteran option, a draft, and free agent choice, while Miller cites past success of Messersmith and McNally and notes progress is unlikely before the March 1 start. Proposals also include higher pension, doubled medical coverage, increased minimum salary through 1979, and cost of living adjustments.
