UMW Accepts Peace Plan To End Dow Strike
The United Mine Workers indicate willingness to accept an Office of Production Management plan to end the Dow Chemical strike. The plan would allow strikers to return to work without discrimination, including Nile King, with arbitration to follow after a July 8 NL RB election. Dow remains reluctant to reinstate King before the end of the disciplinary period. Gail Smith of the OPM heads to Midland to speed settlement as plant output continues. Union and company figures dispute Saturday staffing levels, noting 20 of 400 Saturday workers at the plant versus Dow claiming about 1,200 of 1,500 on day shift.
