Labor strategy
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) - Labor leaders are mapping
strategy this week for next year's Democratic National
Convention in hopes of having a voice in the party's plat-
form and the selection of its presidential candidate.
Richard Murphy, a key figure in COPE, the AFL-CIO's
committee on Political Education, said yesterday this is
in line "with Meany's mandate to put together slates of
delegates."
Labor's political strategists said that while there is
no consensus yet among union leaders on a particular can-
didate, they believe the Democrats will be able to pro-
duce a nominee acceptable to all segments of the labor
movement.
Salary hike
WASHINGTON (/P) - The House yesterday killed an
8.66 per cent pay raise for members of Congress, federal
employes, and others, thus upholding the five per cent in-
crease recommended by President Ford.
The raise, which went into effect immediately, goes
to senators and representatives, federal judges, the vice
president, Cabinet members, top government officials, fed-
eral white collar workers and military personnel.
The cost of the five per cent raise is estimated at $2.3
billion, compared with the $3.9 billion cost of the larger
increase. Ford had said the higher raise was inflationary.
