Beating at Steelworkers Convention Sparks Investigation
A Chicago union press representative, Cliff Mezo, was beaten by three men at the United Steelworkers convention in Las Vegas. Mezo, badly injured, said the attackers appeared unconnected to any union or security team, prompting I.W. Abel to order an investigation. Meanwhile wage talks in Clark County move toward a 2.5 percent raise recommendation from a factfinder, with district officials set to review the 38 page report amid ongoing contract negotiations.

Negotiators Agree Tax Cuts Extended Through 1977
Congressional negotiators reached a deal to extend all current individual income tax cuts at least through 1977. The package would keep withholding from rising and preserve a 16 percent standard deduction with set minimum and maximum figures and a $35 credit per taxpayer and dependent or 2 percent of the first $9,000, whichever is greater. It would also extend the earned income credit through 1977 to aid low income workers and include adjustments to employer stock ownership plans with a small additional investment tax credit.
