Truman Reassures Labor Leaders on Mobilization Drive
President Truman told key labor leaders he would ensure fair treatment in the mobilization effort and arranged talks with his top economic aides.

Wilson regarding a 10 percent wage ceiling and the status of proposed labor adviser posts. The four officials, AFL President William Green and CIO leaders, reported back that Truman gave a friendly, uncommitted stance and favored continuing talks to address grievances within existing contract escalator provisions.
