Talks On Rail Strike Extend To July 10
Washington United States rail unions and management agreed to continue bargaining until July 10 without a railroad shutdown after a White House appeal by President Kennedy for a final effort. The leaders met 15 minutes in the White House, Kennedy warned that if unresolved Congress may act to block a national strike. He cautioned no real bargaining has occurred and stressed the stakes for free collective bargaining and the Railway Labor Act. A settlement could involve outside agency intervention and public protection if talks fail. He urged 200000 train crews and major railroads to begin immediate bad-faith bargaining with the aid of Labor Secretary Wirtz, Deputy Reynolds, and the National Mediation Board.
