Controls and strikes ripple through wartime industry
Amid wage disputes and price controls a wave of labor action hits textiles and rubber. The CIO Textile Workers Union calls a broad strike involving about 70,000 workers at woolen mills, while rubber orders force layoffs at BR Goodrich. Prices, shortages, and rail disruption press production and consumer costs as industry expands with new plants and research.
