Labor chiefs urge end to tight money policy
Washington labor leaders at Ford’s economic mini summit called almost unanimously for ending tight money policies that have driven interest rates to records. They argued anti inflation measures fail and warn of a deep recession with high unemployment. Ford announced 85,000 public jobs and faster spending of 415 million plus 1.3 billion for local manpower programs, pledging compassionate action if unemployment rises. George Meany praised Ford but urged new ideas and directions, saying current policies have hurt over 50 years. Other items noted: federal officials push power rate increases, corn crop aided by August rains, and a Senate panel recommending overturning Ford’s three month delay of a federal pay raise for 3.5 million workers. House Speaker Carl Albert urged prompt action and broader authority.
