...Democrats, who received less than fervent cooperation from Big Labor in the 1966 elections, owed last week's big-city victories in some degree to the union vote. Whatever the reasons-unprecedented wage levels, blue-collar support for the war, or resentment of Republican cutbacks in spending for the cities-labor voted with a cohesion unsurpassed since the Kennedy-Nixon, election of 1960.

Workers thus repaid Tate's past deference to Philadelphia's big maritime unions (he recently rejected a bill to expand docking facilities to Camden, N.J., and Chester, Pa.) and his approval of a $40 million wage-and-retirement bill.

Though the Administration has been strangely silent of late, it is now clear that another mark has been passed. Last August CEA's Ackley expressed the hope...
