Ford vetoes picketing bill in labor clashes
President Ford vetoed a bill expanding construction workers picketing power, risking his labor secretary John Dunlop.

The veto defies a promised cabinet compromise and could trigger AFL-CIO opposition in the next election. A Dunlop spokesman said he would decide his next move in a couple of weeks.
