Industry Leaders Deny Strike Against Administration Policy
Washington officials heard two business spokesmen deny that industry was striking or threatening to strike in protest of government policy. Lammot du Pont and Dr. Claudius T. Murchison of the Cotton-Textile Institute urged tax revision to restore investment confidence. Du Pont said the firm plans 35 million dollars in expansion but forecast a 23 percent sales drop for the next six months, calling for government and business to cooperate. He noted uncertainty from debt levels, tax questions, rising prices, strikes, and evolving regulations harming business. He described Du Pont employment peaking at 59,800 in 1937 and dropping to 51,600 by year end, then stated the industry is “playing ball.”

Roosevelt urges end to sectionalism in party unity
President Roosevelt urged Democrats to slough off sectionalism and class consciousness as they move forward. Some congress members took it as a signal that anti-Roosevelt Democrats may face limited support in future elections, while others saw little significance in the remark.
