Congress Ed Congress on Carter Spending Fight
House and Senate conferees failed to agree on several amendments in late Friday negotiations. They accepted federal aid for abortions when the mother’s life is at risk or in rape or incest cases and upheld a 17 percent pay raise for members. No override of Carter’s veto on a $9.1 billion anti-busing bill. The pay raise lifts salaries from $60,662 to $70,900.

Continental warns union as Sunday deadline looms
Continental Airlines rejects a second scaled-down demand from 1,700 striking flight attendants and sets a noon Sunday deadline to accept the offer. The union files an unfair labor charge, claiming the carrier ignores public and employee bargaining rights. The airline seeks a 30.6 percent pay rise over 27 months, while the union had pared its demand to 39 percent. The strike has crippled roughly half the normal flights, costing about $1 million daily, with 9,000 employees and 324 weekly flights impacted across western U S and international routes.
