An admin official predicts a fourth wage increase averaging seven to ten cents an hour, tied to falling costs. Wages rose three times since the war, with late rounds about nine and a half cents, not yet reaching steel and retail. Proposals seek a reasonable labor law compromise and stronger labor department, with debates over Taft Hartley provisions including national emergency strikes and anti Communists.
