Changes In Party Opposed
Supporters of Jimmy Carter showed little interest in major reform at the Democratic Party national convention in New York. The Rules Committee defeated or sent to study nearly all substantial change proposals over two days, while Republican delegate contests in five states shaped the 1980 race. Reagan cut Ford's delegate lead, with 1,005 pledged to Reagan and 932 to Ford. remaining delegates total 130 with 164 uncommitted. In Iowa Ford split 19 to 17, Washington state gave Reagan 17 to Ford 7, Delaware went Ford 12 with five uncommitted, Texas backed Reagan with four at large, and Colorado awarded Reagan three in a single district. The Democratic push to change vice presidential selection failed. The 1980 VP nominee would have had to run in a presidential primary if proposals had passed.

Inside job: bridges opened as state workers strike
Dozens of placard carrying workers demonstrated at state hospitals unemployment offices and welfare offices around the state. Picket lines formed at Concord prison and Boston state offices as Alliance members led the action. Bam Dukakis mobilized management and supervisory staff to blunt the walkout while a 1973 anti strike order was served. Emergency measures allowed prison superintendents to use a second shift at Concord while several facilities reported full or near full attendance. Drawbridges near Boston opened. MDC police closed at least one bridge in Cambridge amid traffic backups. An employee at Danvers State Hospital reported a windshield smashed while crossing the line to work as talks stalled.
