Fact finding board backs 16 cent meat wage increase
The board led by Dr. Edwin E. Witte Chief Justice Raymond W Starr and Clark Kerr said 16 cents of a wage rise for meat packing workers was fair but only five cents should be paid by packers and the rest passed to consumers or a subsidy. Smaller plants had already agreed to 15 cents and Swift Co had offered 10 cents, ignored by the board. Bread waste scandal shadows war food rules as bakeries in several cities discard unsold bread while using consignment sales to push fresh stock. Atomic tests in the Pacific may prove a water spout study unless Truman acts on Ed Pauley lobbying as political stakes rise in key states.
