Congress ends strike as trains roll across nation
The AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen ended a coast-to-coast walkout after Congress passed a wage raise and President Nixon signed the measure. About 42,000 Ohio railroad workers began returning to their jobs, with major plants in Lorain Elyria Twinsburg resuming operations. The strike disrupted payrolls, auto plants, steel, and stock markets, prompting calls for permanent legislation to handle future emergency disputes.

Senate votes down troop cut proposal in Europe
The Senate rejected a bid to force a 650,000 troop withdrawal from Europe over three years. The Nelson compromise would gradually cut U.S. forces, suspending the first reduction, while critics warned the move would undermine NATO and Soviet negotiations. Separately, Magnuson agreed to terminate SST funding, turning 85.3 million into a wind‑up fund, with a final 70.5 million addition. Antiwar lawmakers also prepared a year‑end funding cut for Indochina.
