Washington reports say Treasury Secretary Connally urged AFL-CIO President Meany and other labor leaders to join the new wage and price pay board while warning the government will act if price and wage rises become extreme. Meany avoided committing to join the board, calling for further discussion among labor leaders and noting questions about board impact. Connally and Meany stressed cooperation to reach Nixon’s inflation-cut goal, with possible government intervention if boards falter or decouple from broader policy.
