...fact, almost none of the 150,000 workers on strike when the freeze was declared have returned to their jobs. Dock Workers Chief Harry Bridges, whose men have paralyzed West Coast shipping for nine weeks, has pledged that they will not go back to work until a contract has been signed, presumably one with a hefty post-freeze pay raise. Perhaps the major test of union strike intentions will come on Sept. 30, when the coal miners' contract expires...
...Nixon Administration pleaded with labor leaders to make a voluntary end to existing strikes in order to help the economy pick up at the maximum possible speed. The most devastating strike under way is the West Coast dock stoppage, now eight weeks old, led by Harry Bridges. It is likely to continue. Bridges wired Nixon that the freeze "favors the rich," and he added: "We are with you in your desire to stop inflation in our country, but it is wrong to pick on the workers, who suffer first and the most from inflation...
...landing site, Scott will park the rover 300 ft. from Falcon and 31 hrs. later, at 1:09 p.m., the car's camera should give the world its first live view of a spacecraft blasting off from the moon. By 3:04 p.m., Scott and Irwin should dock with the command module Endeavour (named for the ship used by 18th century English Navigator and Explorer James Cook). That will also reunite them with Worden, who will have conducted more scientific experiments than any other command-module pilot during his three days alone in lunar orbit...
...also true that the Pirates are coming into their own as a team. Their pitching is clicking-particularly Righthanders Dock Ellis and Steve Blass, who have accounted for 25 wins against only seven losses this season. Pirate hitting is positively awesome; no fewer than five starters-Stargell, Roberto Clemente, Manny Sanguillen, Dave Cash and Richie Hebner-are batting over .300. As a result, the Pirates are leading the league in games won (64), runs scored (502), hits (981), home runs (104), runs batted in (473) and hitting (.282). For all their joint heroics, though, the Bucs ascribe their strong showing...
...price. After the crash that killed Cosmonaut Komarov, the Soyuz spacecraft made no manned flights for 18 months while its faulty systems were overhauled. Although three manned Soyuz ships were fired off in rapid succession in 1969, the Soviets failed to make good on hints that the ships would dock and set up a rudimentary space station. In April, the Soviets followed up the orbiting of their unmanned Salyut space lab with the launch of Soyuz 10, but it took the three men aboard the smaller ship more than 24 hours to rendezvous and dock with the station. When...
