LBJ Seeks Cooling-Off Plan to Forestall Rail Strike
President Johnson asks Congress for a 90 day cooling-off period with three stage mediation to avert a strike that could idle 95 percent of railroads. If agreements fail, compulsory arbitration would be imposed. Labor Secretary Wirtz says outsiders would enforce terms if needed and hopes parties settle within the period. J E Wolfe of the National Railway Labor Conference warns the plan solves this case but not future bargaining crises. Meantime, a birthday notice for Edward H. Kocher is noted with local officials renaming Lover's Lane to Kocher Drive in his honor.
