The 70-day-old strike that has shut down this city's two daily newspapers has eroded people's patience. But as several thousand copies of the papers reappeared today, support seemed to build for the union strikers in this city, where unionism is almost a religious denomination. In a show of solidarity today, striking drivers linked arms and blocked trucks trying to deliver the first editions of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Pittsburgh Press published since May.

Mohawk Industries said that it had agreed to acquire a competing carpet maker, Horizon Industries, for about $86.5 million in cash and stock. Together, Mohawk and Horizon would be the nation's third-largest manufacturer of residential and commercial carpeting. Mohawk's offer caught analysts and shareholders by surprise. Horizon's stock surged $4.875, to $13.75, in over-the-counter trading yesterday. The stock, however, is still below the estimated $15 a share that Horizon shareholders are to receive from Mohawk Industries in cash and stock. The merger, which is expected to be completed in October or November, still needs approval from Horizon's shareholders

The Mobil Oil Corporation reached a tentative agreement with the Government not to make unsubstantiated claims that its Hefty degradable trash bags decompose swiftly and are therefore environmentally safe. Mobil settled the charges with the Federal Trade Commission by agreeing not to make the claims in the future without providing scientific evidence to back them up, the F.T.C. said. The settlement is not an admission of guilt on the part of Mobil, the agency said. The F.T.C. will vote on approving the settlement after a 60-day comment period.
