Rights Violations and White House Wage Policy Viewed
A 1966 New York Herald Tribune piece argues civil rights in New York City are violated by transit strike in defiance of law and criticizes the White House for uneven wage and price controls. It notes unions demand higher wages, Inland Steel and Bethlehem Steel price rises, and labor actions against railroads. The piece contrasts presidential denouncement of price hikes with limited action on wage demands.
