Tentative settlement averts threatened rail strike
Negotiators reached a tentative settlement with 70 000 shopcraft union members averting a strike that would have shut most railroads. A formal announcement by mediator W J Usery followed hours of bargaining on subcontracting work and four other work rule issues. Railroads agreed to a three cent raise for mechanics and to stop outsourcing parts made in their own shops. Union officials indicated talks would continue without a strike.
