Reagan action could avert nationwide rail strike
President Reagan faces a potential 60 day cooling off period to halt a looming rail strike set to begin Sunday. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and National Railway Labor Conference warn disputes unlikely to be settled by 12 01 a m deadline. An emergency board could report settlement recommendations, but no decision yet. If triggered, a stall would halt most U S rail freight outside Amtrak and Conrail, threatening shipments of coal from Kentucky grain from Kansas steel from Alabama and fruit from California.
