Barely 24 hours earlier, Louisville Mayor Harvey I. Sloane had proudly praised the people of Jefferson County for showing "restraint" and a "spirit of cooperation."

But last week one big American city after another faced walkouts by workers who were making difficult demands in a time of shrinking resources. The "English sickness"−the affliction that makes work almost an afterthought amid the ceaseless shop-floor broil of whispered conferences, noisy confrontations and tense negotiations−is most virulent in its native land.
