...President's sudden announcement came. The union leader was accosted by an aide who yelled: "Come back right away!" Miller hustled down the block to U.M.W. headquarters, conferred with other officials for ten minutes, then announced that he was "delighted." He said he was urging the union rank and file to ratify the contract "so they can get back to work as soon as possible...

District 30 in eastern Kentucky: "Before anybody can say anything, I'd say they'd have to wait and see what kind of settlement it is."

Boyce, a G52 data transcriber, and Dixon, a G53 file clerk, contended that they relied on their husbands to file the returns and won their appeal to the regional Civil Service Commission and the Appeals Review Board. But the IRS, arguing that it was a bad precedent for IRS workers not to send in their own returns, persuaded the full commission to uphold the workers' ouster. The women won reinstatement with back pay in the U.S. Court...
