Labor Charges Big Business Rules Setup
Washington reports a labor revolt against a new wage control plan as unions accuse the Truman administration of serving big business. The wage board proposes a catch up allowing 10 percent increases from January 15, 1950, while labor leaders threaten walkouts and resignations. The price index rises 0.5 percent in a week, led by farm products, signaling strain on the wage price control effort.
