Economy Boss to Issue Order on His Own
Washington January 26 AP Economic Boss Eric Johnston prepared to issue a blanket wage control order on his own due to lack of union labor agreement with the Wage Stabilization Board. A price rollback and freeze are expected, but delays are likely as the board struggles to reach unanimous consent. The labor members oppose a wage freeze, preferring a long range plan to raise wages to an agreed standard.
