Negotiations were suspended in June but resumed again several weeks ago when the dining hall and housekeeping workers returned to work with the start of the new term. After J. Boyd Britton, vice-president of Radcliffe and the College's negotiator, made what he called the College's "final offer," the union's representatives called a membership vote yesterday afternoon. A majority of the employees voted to reject the offer and authorize a strike, but the representatives later agreed with Britton's proposal to delay action...
Edward T. Sullivan, the Union's negotiator, said last night that he is "not optimistic" that the Council--Radcliffe's governing body-- will make an offer acceptable to the Union and that a strike is "likely." Britton was not available for comment last night...

But prices are still climbing for just about every other kind of product and service, in large part because of wage settlements that averaged nearly 7% during the first half of this year. In an election year, Washington's reaction is to criticize business, and reprove labor gently if at all. Last week the Administration denounced Chrysler Corp. for announcing a price boost on its 1969 models (see following story); the Government barely mentioned the increase...
