Washington dispatch reports the CIO charging the new type cost of living index may misstate price rises affecting over 1,000,000 workers. It notes automatic raises of four to five cents per hour under a Johnston plan and questions whether the new or old index will set the adjustments.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows both indices with January increases, while the CIO argues for food-inflation relevance.
