Washington dispatch details AFL-CIO tensions with the Nixon White House as labor leadership, including George Meany, denounce the administration. It notes resignations from planning panels for a White House Conference and the White House push to maintain labor ties while Labour leaders question pension plan briefings.
The piece portrays a personal duel between President Nixon and AFL CIO leader Meany as White House aides bypass union chiefs, revealing Meany's opposition to Nixon's foreign policy and a bid to topple Nixon personally. It contrasts this with prison reform debates and calls for better outside facilities to help nonviolent inmates.

Buckley notes legitimate factors behind higher male earnings, but asserts some discriminatory practices persist.
