Miller Would Not Intervene In Strike In Senate Run
AP Roanoke Andrew Miller, campaigning in Roanoke Valley, said he would not intervene in a Norfolk and Western clerks union strike if elected to the Senate. He argued political intervention would harm labor processes and urged congressional review of federal job programs like CETA. He also favored selling American farm products to communist countries if it improves the trade balance but opposed exporting highly technical machinery to the Soviets. A note on Turkey cites 57 percent of 40 million people living in the countryside.
