But some are aware that the raises may only give the inflationary spiral a further upward twist. Says Phil Stack, a New York Teamsters official who helped negotiate the $57.60 hike: "Every time we get a raise, the prices increase and the hospitals go up as well. Somebody should stand still.

Soon afterwards, his tapes turned up at the Justice Department, whose subsequent investigation uncovered evidence of widespread price-fixing in the industry. Justice won two indictments charging 15 companies...
...this will take time-and something must be done to avoid another great stack-up this summer. In reluctant response, the Federal Government, starting June 1, will assign hourly quotas for arriving and departing flights at the Golden Triangle airports. This should help divert more private aircraft to small airports, and perhaps persuade airlines to start cutting their peak-hour flights-a decision they should make voluntarily...
