Senate Unit OKs Bill To Stop Train Strike
The Senate Labor Committee approved 13 to 1 a resolution to halt the nationwide rail strike by the signalmen’s union until Oct 1. The measure includes a roughly 17 percent wage increase for about 13,000 members, differing from President Nixon’s July 1 no strike extension. House hearings indicated opposition to a wage boost, with critics noting past increases for other unions.
