Morgenthau Attacks Truman Over Draft Labor Policy
Henry Morgenthau Jr. accuses President Truman of openly rejecting the Roosevelt inheritance in a biting address. He criticizes Truman's draft labor proposal and the Saturday joint session speech as a departure from Roosevelt, blaming wartime policy rollbacks for inflation and labor tensions. He urges voters to elect Congress members of vision to check the administration. He also says Roosevelt’s international approach is lost to today’s hostile climate.

Coal strike ends as workers win wage raise and welfare fund
In a settlement the miners gain a $1.85 daily wage hike and a 5 cent per ton levy for a welfare fund run jointly by the union and the government mines administration. The fund adds 35 to 50 cents per ton in cost. The Solid Fuels Administration says miners lost 160 million dollars in wages. About 300,000 returned after a two week truce ended last Saturday following government seizure of pits. A separate 15 day strike by 370 AFL truck drivers for Philadelphia papers was settled with a two year contract. Details of terms were not disclosed.

Bowles Predicts Dairy Subsidy Cuts Raise Prices Soon
Bowles warned Congress is unlikely to approve more subsidies to shield consumers from price hikes. He said current cuts by the House and Senate Banking Committee would force sharp increases after July 1, including about 2 cents per quart for milk 18 cents per pound for butter and 8 to 9 cents per pound for cheese. He noted even larger rises if all subsidies end, with milk jumping 2 to 3 cents a quart and butter up to 80 cents a pound in many areas.
