The Environmental Protection Agency supports an 85-decibel level.
A possible compromise: Those industries now operating at an 85-decibel level or below would not be allowed to go higher. And all new industrial facilities would have to conform to meet this tighter standard. But those industries now with a 90-decibel level would be permitted to continue on with it.
THE LABOR DEPARTMENT HAS A SCHEME TO REFORM BARGAINING in building. A basic idea is to give national unions more control over local bargaining. A new law would require locals to notify headquarters of all negotiations and get approval for strikes. For years, construction locals have boosted building costs by outdoing one another for ever-higher wages and benefits.
Labor Secretary John Dunlop wrote the plan, which has White House approval. But unions' support may well hinge on the final shape of this legislation. Non-building-trades unions fear the strike-control feature may apply to them. And the AFL-CIO warns that it will not tolerate Federal compulsion.
COSTS OF EMPLOYEE HOSPITALIZATION INSURANCE will be heading upward in months ahead. That's the clear implication of what is going on in the fees that hospitals are charging. Government figures show that room costs jumped 2.7% between June and July, the biggest single-month surge since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began keeping separate hospital-charge figures in 1969. And the trend is due to continue through this year and into 1976.
