Johnson urges Congress to block rail strike for 20 days
President Johnson appeals to Congress to extend the Railroad Labor Act for 20 days to avert a nationwide railroad walkout set to begin at 12:01 Thursday. He warns a strike would cripple 70 percent of railroad employment and affect 95 percent of mileage amid broader labor disputes. The White House says Congress will be asked to act promptly and sign the measure before the Punta del Este conference.
