Price Control Bill Compromise Reached In Senate and House
The party line split over parity provisions faded as almost all backed the compromise negotiated in the Senate and by a State House conference committee. The farm bill sought to raise parity by pricing farm products below parity, while the Administration warned such a clause would lift food costs and ruin price stabilization. A lengthy process produced a formula tying labor cost increases since January 1941 to the adjusting prices, and it was accepted.
