said he opposed compulsory arbitra-
tion in any form, praised the White
House plan as "a fair and states-
manlike solution . it is fair, it
is just. It is new and unique." And
he added that "it will do the job."
Senator Robert P. Griffin (R-
Mich.), who has advocated broader
anti-strike legislation, called it a
"reasonable proposal, a reasonable
course of action for Congress to
adopt." But he added, "I do not
understand the difference between
mediation to finality and compulsory
arbitration."
Added support. Senator Jacob K.
Javits (R-N. Y.), an outspoken ex-
ponent of new legislation to handle
emergency disputes, said he would
probably back, the Presidential rail-
road bill. He said, however, that he
was still prepared to battle later on
for changes in the Taft-Hartley and
Railway. Labor Acts. He is strongly
in favor of "limited seizure" in emer-
gency disputes..
In his message to Congress in sup-
port of his legislative proposal, the
President did not commit himself on
the subject of broader legislation
except to say: "We must take this
action now, as we continue and re-
new our search for'a just and general
solution to, emergency strike or lock-
out problems in this country."
With hearings on the rail legisla-.
tion opening this week before the
House Commerce Committee and a
Senate labor subcommittee, sup-
porters of the Presidential proposal
hoped to move it quickly through
Congress. Senator Ralph Yarborough
(D-Tex.), chairman of the Senate
labor subcommittee, said he wo?ild
seek to' avoid the subject of per-
manent anti-strike legislation in the
hearings, but he indicated that the
President's plan would not have easy
sailing. "I would be very much sur-
prised if this legislation passes %vith-.
out any change, he said.
Mixed feelings. In the Douse, Mi-
nority Leader Gerald Ford (R-Mich.)
said he saw in the Administration
proposal "an clement of compulsory
arbitration" and that Congress
should "explore other alternatives."
Representative Carl Albert (D-
Okla.), representing the House lead-
ership, termed the plan an "effec-
tive, equitable, and enterprising
fornnila. " Opposition to the Presidential
proposal was likely to center on or-
ganized labor's position that it is,
in effect, compulsory arbitration.
But in the early stages of Con-
gressional debate, the Administra-
tion appeared to have won support
for its approach-even if in the end
Congress does not buy it entirely in
its original form.
AFL-CIO President George Meany
denied as "a damn lie" newly pub-
lished reports that the Central Intc.-
ligence Agency channeled funds to
AFL, and later to AFL-CIO, for
anti-Communist labor activities
abroad. "I take great pride in the
work we've done overseas and I
resent the fact that CIA is trying to
horn in on it," Meanv said. To his
knowledge, he addedl, the federa-
tions "never received any, CIA
money . directly or indirectly."
Walter Reuther conceded that the
United Auto Workers got $50,000
from CIA to help West German
.unions in the early 1950s, but he
said, "We did it just once and we
felt very bad about having done it."
The trucking industry's settlement
price for a contract with the Inter.
national Brotherhood of Teamsters
went up last weekend to 78? an hour
over three years-25{ now, 15~ more
in 1968 and 1969, up to 8? in cost-
of-living increases if prices go up,
and fringe gains. Earlier, IBT's rank
and file gave .lukewarm approval
.(52,625 to 45,363) to a 60.550 to
70.55{ package but IBT went back
to the bargaining table because o
the lightness of the vote (hardly 20%)
and continuing disputes in Chicago
['Sk7l May6'67,p1581.
Electricians in West Coast shipyards,
working under a Taft-Hartley anti..
strike injunction since Mar. 2, will
stay on the job after the ban runs out
this month. A "procedural agrec-
ment" rules out a stoppage at least
until July 1. Factfinders will recom-
mend settlement terms by June 10
and the parties will resume negotia-
tions. They're not bound to accept
the terms, and a strike is possible
again in July.
A federal court in Richmond, Va.,
has ruled that a crippled miner is
entitled to disability benefits even if
he works as a dishwasher at $150 a
month. The miner had been denied
payments because he took -a job he
could do. The court commended him
for working despite liis disability,
ordered benefits paid.
Rubber strikes aren't having serious
impact yet, according to ~primary
customers of three major companies
shut down by the United Rubber
Workers. The'tircinaker:s are moving
out stockpiled tires, still have a 30-
to 45-Clay supply. But a pinch may
develop from shortages of molded
rubber products. Meanwhile, t'm-c's
no apparent progress in negotiation .
