Chamber Plea Calls for Trade Reform at National Meet
Delegates from 651 chambers and 6900 trade groups gathered in Washington urged swift action to reform taxes and regulation to restart the economy. They pressed for relief from current tax burdens, repeal or revision of the labor relations act, controlled government spending, and policies favoring private enterprise. In New York the NAM backed a seven point revival plan, opposing federal competition with private utilities and calling for railroad solutions and cautious reform. A wage hour bill faced likely defeat in the House Rules Committee despite presidential support.
