Federal law ends nationwide rail strike and resumes service
Washington AP. The first nationwide rail strike in 20 years ended when a federal labor-pack to work law forced a return to duty. President Johnson signed the measure dictating compulsory settlement if wage disputes cannot be resolved within 90 days, prompting unions to order members back to work within about 48 hours. Pickets remain in some cities while court orders sought to force continued work. The law aims to keep essential goods moving to support Vietnam and maintain national operations.
