NFL still not at labor peace as camps near
Washington AP says labor peace eludes the NFL with training camps opening next week. Ed Garvey, NFL Players Association executive director, hails a National Labor Relations Board ruling against owners for unfair practices in 1974 but warns a 1976 agreement seems unlikely. He notes a Chicago meeting yielded a proposal rejected in 1975 and says no strike is planned, though a labor disruption cannot be ruled out.
