CIO Demands Conference on Wage Increases and Stability
The CIO denounced Congress for not reviving a strong OPA and urged President Truman to convene a labor management conference to push for immediate wage hikes and price stability. Philip Murray warned the Senate-House talks will not yield a workable OPA revival bill and called for a nationwide buyers strike to curb profiteering and food, clothing, and shelter price rises. The CIO executive board proposes a conference to counter inflation and guarantee a stabilized economy, criticizing anti-OPA lawmakers for undermining real price control. The board cited a 40 percent rise in living costs since debates began two months ago, 25 percent after OPA expired.
