CIO Renews Call for Industry Labor Price Conference
The CIO urged President Truman to convene an industry government labor conference to seek voluntary price reductions. Emil Rieve said the crime probe by Attorney General Clark is not enough as monopolies like General Motors set most prices. Congress should reinstate price and rationing controls. Rep Crawford criticized Clark’s anti trust push as misdirected and called for focus on fiscal policy. The National Federation of Small Business backed Clark, warning of rising economic concentration in distribution.

Superintendent Attacks Wisconsin State Aid Bill
In a four page report to the Board of Education Tuesday night, Superintendent F. E. Conner criticized state school aid bill 255 A as revised by the Wisconsin legislature. He said original provisions would have given Kenosha schools 895,680 in aid with a 6 mill property tax cut, while the passed bill yields about 14,000 in extra aid and the January salary schedule will boost next year’s costs by about 47,000. He warned that the legislature failed to address core school funding issues and will likely raise local taxes. he noted Kenosha is relatively fortunate but many districts face serious finances in coming years. He cited support from Sen. Conrad Shearer and local officials for the original measure and named local civic groups backing it.
