Industry balks at compromise in WSB battle
Washington dispatch reports management representatives rejected Eric Johnston's compromise plan to reshape the Wage Stabilization Board into a dispute handling agency. A 20 man delegation from NAM, U S Chamber of Commerce, and Commerce Department advisory council delivered the stance to labor leaders. Labor favored the compromise as a wartime style wage board, but industry feared widened wage formulas via strikes. Three possible paths for Johnston were outlined: ignore the management position, drop tripartite representation, or issue policy decrees as needed. A source said ITLPC favored the compromise creating a board of 18 members with broader authority. DiSalle claimed inflation momentum slowed and price stability could come sooner.
