Trains resume after court ordered end to rail strike
The nation’s rails moved again as workers returned under court and congressional pressure. A federal judge threatened $200,000 daily fines if the walkout continued and wage talks resumed with Asst. Labor Secretary W. J. Usery Jr. and union leader C L Dennis saying a schedule for negotiations would be set next week. The 13.5 percent pay boost for nearly 500,000 rail workers was processed to begin immediately.
