Administration opposes immediate labor curbs amid war profits debate
Washington March 31 The administration signaled opposition to any new 40 hour week restriction or war profit cap measures, favoring higher taxes to recapture profits. Senate Leader Barkley told reporters he would oppose moving such limits today before a White House conference on the legislative program. He warned that suspending the 40 hour week could cause chaos in war industries and said most plants already exceed the 40 hour standard. He also opposed Connally’s bid to force Senate review of his strike bound plant measures. The issue centers on labor rules and wartime profit taxation as the Treasury suggests.
