Eisenhower backs flexible farm price plan and labor reform
President Eisenhower urged Congress to freeze two and a half billion dollars of farm surpluses and adopt a flexible price support program. He sought labor law revisions including worker voting before strikes and a study of union welfare funds. The plan aims to keep farm income stable, cap prices at 75 to 90 percent of parity, and develop foreign markets while phasing out wartime supports. Wool and other commodities would see targeted payments to raise returns to 90 percent of parity.
