UAW Sets Ford GM Strike Votes
UAW moves to authorize strikes among 1.465 million Ford and GM workers as talks stall. Walter Reuther says a solid vote strengthens bargaining leverage amid late May contracts. If approved, a walkout could be called after contract expirations. Federal mediator Finnegan signals no rush to intervene.

Fulbright warns on higher minimum wage slowing South industry
Sen. Fulbright argues a higher minimum wage would concentrate industrial power in few firms, risking small businesses. He notes potential gains in conditions but warns of bankruptcies for small producers if the 75-cent floor rises too much. He avoids a figure, citing 90 cents to 1.25 by others, and says the South would feel the impact most. Senate subcommittee hearings on the proposal continue with leaders weighing full compensation and productivity since 1950 to justify a lift. An increase to 90 cents could raise pay for about 1.3 million workers, with another 300,000 earning between 90 cents and $1.
