Wages Must Be Kept in Bounds Says Henderson
Price Administrator Leon Henderson testified before the House banking committee that wages must be kept within bounds to curb inflation though he opposed wage regulation in the price control bill. He warned unbridled credit and installment selling could undermine controls and cited past wartime real wage losses among workers. The testimony covered unions, the Lockheed aircraft dispute, and a looming railroad wage dispute with the National Railway Mediation Board preparing for Monday meetings.

Strikes Continue at Plant After Union Vote Split
Strikes persist as Hobson and traffic duties are cited. Spart workers admitted maintenance men and union guards to the plant. Last Sunday about 6,000 union members voted to rescind a strike ballot and accept National Defense Mediation Board recommendations for a modified union shop, vacation changes, and a 12 percent wage rise already paid retroactively to June 24. Despite the vote, the local union executive board yesterday ordered a strike while noting the hourly scale prior to the wage increase.
