Howell Returns to Democrats in Virginia Governor Bid
Henry Howell, long an independent, announced in Dickenson County that he will seek the Democratic nomination for governor. He targets Attorney General Andrew P. Miller, Miller’s home district and a rival in the races, hoping to shape party leadership while courting support for a potential 1978 Senate challenge against William L. Scott. Howell touts a populist program on productivity, wages, and a return to lower utility costs, but faces questions about sustaining energy and fiscal policy under a Howell administration.

Kilpatrick Blasts Bill for Forcing Union Membership
Washington writer James J. Kilpatrick argues that H. R. 3900, the common situs bill, aims to compel non union construction workers to join building trades unions and would overturn the 1951 Denver Building Trades decision. He calls it among the worst bills of 1975 and frames its intent as clear.

Court Upheld Unfair Labor Practices In Construction Case
The NLRB found Gould & Preisner in unfair labor practice after Doose & Lintner canceled their $2300 electrical subcontract following a picket by unions. The Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, affirmed that the dispute was not with the general contractor’s workers, stressing nonunion workers’ right to work and the sub‑contractor’s right to compete. The piece argues against the pending common situs bill and warns of economic and political fallout if enacted.
