Probers Claim Cost of Living Up 30 Percent
Roosevelt's special committee reports that the bulk of wage costs rose 29 to 30 percent, disputing union claims of 44 percent. Davis and two industry members add 34 to 40 percentage points to the BLS index, which covers family budgets of city dwellers with $1,528 annual income. The report notes possible higher costs for small cities and suggests renaming the index.
