Steel industry signs no strike lockout pact for four years
The United Steelworkers and steel companies reach a no strike and no lockout agreement lasting four years. Compulsory arbitration replaces deadlocks, limiting both unions and management. Early doubts over binding arbitration fade as leaders approve. The pact aims to cut imports, stabilize pay, and improve the balance of trade. If successful, it could set a model for other industries.

The effort to fund presidential campaigns with voluntary taxpayer checkoffs faces weak participation. IRS reports only 3 percent of early filers chose the $1 checkoff, risking about $2.3 million for 1976 campaigns. Critics blame IRS messaging and form design, while supporters urge stronger publicity and inclusion on main tax forms. If turnout rose to 48 percent, funds could top $35 million, a notable start for public financing.
