Unique Setting. In hopes of meeting both sides halfway, the Nixon Administration last week came up with the first presidential proposal advanced for bringing farm workers under a national labor relations law. One much-discussed approach would simply put agriculture under the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board, which has covered industrial workers since 1935. Because farm labor presents special problems, however, the Administration asked for a separate, presidentially appointed Farm Labor Relations Board. "There are unique characteristics about the agricultural setting," said Labor Secretary George Shultz. "There is no great pattern. You'd have...
...Delano, said of Shultz's plan: "I think he is on the right track" vim But the United Automobile Workers' Walter Reuther found "no moral or economic justification" for separating farm workers-from NLRB coverage. Reuther, a longtime supporter of Chavez, complained: "The Farm Labor Relations Board proposed by the Secretary would operate under law so filled with exclusions and fishhooks as to render it meaningless.

Backed by the politically appointed board of higher education, which controls C.C.N.Y., Gallagher closed the college to permit undisturbed negotiations...
Awaiting Justice. That tactic immediately roused assorted candidates for New York's forthcoming mayoralty campaign. They demanded that Gallagher reopen the college. He refused, fearing racial violence. When his politically sensitive board then directed him to resume classes, Gallagher said that he would "go to jail" rather than use police to clear the campus. Last week the south campus occupiers finally decamped under court order. But when school reopened, bitter fighting broke out between blacks and whites. As angry whites saw it, the long shutdown had damaged their education, while mass admission of blacks and Puerto Ricans threatened...
