Two weeks ago, despite considerable White House jawboning, the railroads agreed to raise the wages of 340,000 of their workers by nearly as much. The Administration recognized that unless that pattern were broken with the postal workers, there would be even higher demands by other labor unions in 1979, when the calendar of negotiations is particularly heavy.
