Johnston Pressures on Inflation Fight Faces Strain
Eric Johnston told government leaders the anti inflation program is in distress and could fail without stronger backing. He faulted cabinet officers for not fully backing stabilizing measures and urged unity from the White House Congress and mobilization command. He warned that without shared sacrifice from farmers labor and industry the price and wage stabilization effort may be abandoned. He cited opposition to the raw cotton price ceiling and wage contracts exceeding the ceiling, and noted a recent 11 cent hour pay boost for Packinghouse Workers exceeding the limit. He described the move as a government pressure tactic to force labor and management to reconcile wage policy.
