...offending big labor. But neither Congress nor the country is in any mood to tolerate a walkout as damaging as last year's airlines strike. Perhaps sensing this, Johnson said last week that he was renewing his "search for a just and general solution to emergency strike or lockout problems." By the White House clock, the best time for such action seems to be uncomfortably...

...week - with President Johnson tossing out no fewer than three balls at Washington's D.C. Stadium to make it official - the cry of "Strike!" meant considerably more to most Americans than a waist-high pitch right over the plate. It meant wildcat walkouts by Teamsters and a retaliatory lockout by employers that held up two-thirds of the nation's truck-borne freight.

For three days, Teamsters in Chicago struck for a 90?-an-hour boost instead of an hourly increase in wages and fringes totaling 600 to 700 over a three-year period, as accepted by the national union. In its talks this fall, covering 775,000 workers, the United Auto Workers union is expected...

Helpless to Act. The truckers' lockout coincided with chilly negotiations between craft unions and 138 of the nation's railroads. The union men set this week for a strike that, if it occurs while the truckers are out, could create the worst transportation snarl in the nation's history. The Government has already invoked the Railroad Labor Act's 60-day grace period to prevent a strike and now is helpless to act beyond presidential persuasion or special authority from Congress or the courts. A rail strike could idle up to 630,000 workers, halt commuter...
