USW Attacks Johnson Wage Price Guidelines at Convention
USW president I.W. Abel told 3,500 delegates at the union's 13th biennial session in Atlantic City that Johnson administration wage-price guidelines are unworkable inequitable and arbitrary and must be eliminated in favor of an expansionary program. He urged suspension of tax credits for capital expenditures rather than taxes to cool the economy and argued rising real wages drive a healthy economy. The convention seeks resolutions before Friday and will hear from Arthur J. Goldberg later today.
