Schultze publicly hinted that the Government would act against any company that signed a guidelines-busting agreement, perhaps by withdrawing federal procurement contracts. Representatives from Goodyear, Firestone, BF Goodrich and Uniroyal met with Carter's advisers, but Bommarito declined, although he said he would get together with Federal Mediator Wayne Horvitz and officials of Uniroyal this week. In any case, Bommarito warned, if the tiremakers try to settle for less than the union...
