No Inflation in Coal Boost, Testimony Says
Washington July 1 Two business leaders told Congress that fears of inflation are unfounded and the coal wage deal will stabilize the economy. George M. Humphrey said the new coal contract will retard inflation and not affect wages in other industries. Earl Bunting argued price rises are modest compared with wage gains, while Robert E. Wood predicted no long downturn in 1947 or 1948. He urged a cautious approach to foreign aid programs to avoid domestic price pressures.
