Business leaders urge tax relief and policy reform in national recovery drive
Delegates from U.S. chambers and trade associations gathered in Washington urged broad tax relief, repeal or revision of labor and regulatory laws, and biased restraint on new government spending to revive the economy. The National Association of Manufacturers pushed seven points including private utilitiesfree competition and reform of the Wagner act. The railroads voted a 15 percent wage cut for 925,000 workers while the wage hour bill faced committee defeat. A Ford labor inquiry was reopened, and leaders like Owen D. Young and Winthrop Aldrich offered support for Roosevelt’s recovery program. The day closed with a call for federal action on bank holding companies and a note on a deadly plane crash in Italy connected to King Zog’s wedding.
