Johnston Spars With Labor on Wage Ceiling
Labor members of the wage stabilization board clashed with Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston over lifting the 10 percent wage ceiling. Johnston suggested a possible 2 percent rise plus a cost of living increase based on the April 15 index to total about 12 percent. Auto workers could gain a four cent per hour productivity bump previously proposed, with talks set for Monday and a handling meeting next week to resolve base dates and past increases.
