Labor strike armistice sought to speed postwar housing
Stabilization Director Chester Bowles voiced hope for a no strike pledge from labor to keep full-scale production. Housing Expositor Wilson Wyatt pushed for a six month voluntary armistice in building trades to speed veterans housing as the national housing agency began multi million dollar subsidies for softwood plywood and bricks. The moves aim to prevent work stoppages until December and push completion of stalled homes while assisting postwar construction and the 1946 shelter program.
