(AP) A federal judge denied Friday a request for a restraining order to force resumption of a construction project that was halted when union workers walked off the job after the contractor hired a black, nonunion worker. U.S. District Judge Robert C. Belloni made the decision after an attorney for Local 701 of the International Union of Operating Engineers said the union is prepared to send a black member to work Monday. Belloni said he hopes the dispute can be resolved without a court order.

But he said the government may reapply for a restraining order next week if union members do not return to work. The suit, filed by the federal government, asked the court to forbid the union to strike any employer for attempting to comply with antidiscrimination laws. The government contends Local 701 ordered its workers off a sewer construction job near Warrenton when the contractor, Salem Sand Gravel, hired a black, nonunion heavy equipment operator in an effort to comply with federal equal employment regulations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides part of the project funding, which brings the project within the scope of federal equal employment laws.

Salem Sand Gravel has also filed suit against the union, seeking $350,000 in damages.

They reported the arrest of 99 foreigners, including seven Americans, and seizure of more than three tons of hashish valued at $9 million.

They said the biggest single haul was 1,320 pounds taken from a 20-foot yacht being towed by a Dutch-registered car. Authorities said the Algerian government was determined to punish the traffickers severely. Asked if this could include death for some of the ringleaders, a spokesman said, "There is that possibility." In the first news conference held by the Algerian police in more than 12 years, criminal police dlrectorAbdelkader Semache displayed the hashish, seized in 48 vehicles that were traveling through Algeria between Nov. 27 and the end of January. Last December, the department said prices probably would go up 3 to 4 per cent in each of the first two quarters this year, an annual rate of 15 per cent.

Larry V. Summers of the department's Economic Research Service said the new forecast represents an annual increase of 10 to 12 per cent. For all of 1974, retail food prices rose an average of 14.5 per cent from 1973, with most of the gain in the early part of the year. Summers said it was "impossible at this time to tell" how food prices will behave in the last half of 1975. So much depends on whether record crops of wheat, corn, soybeans and other commodities materialize, he said.

Those include the major raw materials for livestock feed to produce such staples as beef, pork, milk and chicken for consumer tables. WASHINGTON (AP) The increase in the cost of food is slowing down, but government economists say another round of bad weather could send grocery prices soaring again by the end of the year. "Favorable weather and the expectation of large harvests could bring about a substantial slowing in food price increases by mid-year and possibly some declines late in the year," the Agriculture Department said Friday. But the department's Outlook and Situation Board cautioned that "another year of poor growing conditions and disappointing harvests could result in even further food price increases." Meanwhile, retail food prices are rising at a slower pace than the department forecast two months ago. Those now are expected to rise 2 to 3 per cent in the first quarter and perhaps another 3 per cent in the second, the board said.
