Congress Considers Bill to Halt Rail Strike
The Senate Labor Committee approved 12 to 1 a resolution to halt the nationwide rail strike by the signalmen until Oct. 1 while offering an interim wage increase of about 17 percent for 13,000 members. President Nixon urged a halt to July 1 to allow bargaining, with both sides backing a delay plus a wage boost. The measure aims to extend talks and curb economic disruption across steel, auto, and transport sectors.
