Congress Imposes Rail Contract Amid Wider Labor Strife
Congress approved a nationwide railroad contract through 1970 to avert a shutdown after a strike ban ended. The move follows enduring disputes in air travel trucking and newspapers.

Trucker wildcats idle 21,000 workers in Detroit and Chicago amid contract talks. New York newspaper unions face bleak bargaining as mediators assess 13,000 workers across four papers.
