Milk Producers Hopeful on OPA Decision as Strike Door Nears
A committee of eight producers and five distributors met at the Borden plant to discuss milk price rises. Bill Gallemore of Borden’s said a favorable Thursday decision was likely, noting optimism from OPA contact Bill Ernie in Washington. The OPA has considered a price boost amid higher feed and labor costs since February 1943. Dallas OPA urged a 26 cent per hundredweight rise for Amarillo, after a 26 cent hike on January 10, while Austin’s bid was denied. Despite Austin’s ruling, Amarillo’s case continues, with cautious producer and distributor hopes. Austin council approved a five month plan to subsidize milk with higher water and light rates, a measure contentious among locals. The plan awaits final action.

GM rejects union membership clause in new contract
General Motors refused to renew any maintenance of union membership clause and offered a temporary 13 15 per hour wage increase. CIO United Auto Workers rejected the proposal, insisting on the old terms and a broader production recovery. The company cited the use of dues as a reason to end the old arrangement and paused further wage offers until a bargain is reached. Union leaders called for continued strikes until a good faith agreement is reached with the President’s recommendations in mind. Dewey expressed optimism that talks would resume today as government mediators stay involved. Ford also urged lifting price controls to help settlements, while steel talks hinge on government concession to avoid further wage pressures.
