Concessions Probable in Wage Dispute Across Industries
Washington reports indicate officials may offer extra price relief to end the controversy. CIO demands varied from 25 cents to 17 1/2 cents per hour, with industry proposing 72 cents and a possible government-backed rise to 43 1/2 cents. Nine smaller packing houses agreed to 15 cents, while a strike threatens 139 major plants. Detroit auto workers prepare to resume talks with Ford, seeking 17 percent as urged by a GM fact-finding panel, after Ford’s 12.4 percent offer was rejected. Steel industry activity slows with 30,000 idle workers as a $0.60 million strike delay lingers. Truman set to meet rulers and unions to push a settlement to the CIO USW demand of $1.56 daily.
