Labor Secretary Wirtz told Congress that President Johnson’s plan to settle the national railroad labor dispute comes closest to the right solution. He said there is no perfect answer if bargaining fails and the public cannot bear a strike or lockout, and that the plan to block a nationwide tieup at least until 1969 is nearer to correct than any other option.
