Delayed Wage Price Freeze Set For Today
Washington reports a delayed wage price freeze poised to take effect today with President Truman expected to seek extension to all farm products. Price Controller Di Salle and the Wage Stabilization Board, led by Cyrus S. Ching, worked to finalize details amid board concerns over wage formula wording and unanimity. The policy aims to keep wages roughly 10 percent above early 1950 levels, allowing collective bargaining and hardship adjustments, while prices reset to January 2 and stabilize as ceilings are worked out. Truman plans to request stronger authority to curb food prices as farm items largely sit below parity.
