Plan to Roof Wages and Prices in Senate Debate
Senate debate centers on limiting wartime profits with the Baruch plan to cap wages, commodities, rents, and services and to prohibit union member fees in war industries. Senator Pepper proposes presidential power to set maximum price levels during the last two war years, with oversight by the Office of Price Administration and key wartime bodies. A war profits board is suggested by Taft to fix profits by production type, aiming to keep profits at about five percent of invested capital.
