Labor boards urged to set interim standards by Nov 13
Senate Republican leader Hugh Scott urged labor groups to back the President’s Phase 2 inflation program. A background paper said if the two boards fail to develop standards by November 13, the Cost of Living Council would issue interim standards. Scott cited a weekend poll showing union members favor joining the national inflation-control effort and urged cooperation in Congress after Nixon's plans receive a full hearing.
