ESA plans wage price honor system freeze
The Economic Stabilization Agency will issue a voluntary price and wage freeze early this week with potential compulsory ceilings on meats such as beef veal and lamb. Industry executives will meet to discuss possible livestock ceilings as the agency moves to extend anti inflation controls beyond auto prices. The plan aims for a March end date and relies on voluntary adherence with penalties not civil or criminal for violations of a nonmandatory ceiling.
