Washington April 28 AP reports a wave of complaints that President Roosevelt exempted organized labor from the war program, prompting calls in Congress to suspend the 40 hour week and curb union privileges.

Roosevelt plans a nationwide radio address tonight as opposition grows to labor legislation and continued overtime in war industries while price ceilings on farm products remain.
