Price Commission tightens stance on wage led price hikes
The Price Commission warned firms not to automatically pass wage increases to customers as it limited Old Ben Coal Co to a 3.78 percent price rise from a 6.71 percent demand. Chair Grayson said the panel will scrutinize wage based price requests and apply the same criteria across the coal industry. A survey indicated 20 percent of firms would not raise prices, 60 percent modest increases, and 20 percent noncommittal amid ongoing inflation controls. The Senate moved to extend Nixon powers over the economy to April 1973 as stock markets rose on optimistic economic signals. GM outlined how it would implement the 2.5 percent average price rise, with specific increases for Chevrolet models.
